I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with this before, or perhaps could tell me what kind of signs I could be looking for as an indicator of gallstones. I've recently started having persistent pain on my right side near the bottom of my ribcage, like someone's pushing a broomstick into my side or something. Other than that, however, I don't really have any other symptoms at this point.
I've read that raw potato juice can be helpful, if it really is gallstones. Other than trying that, I just don't really know what to do about the situation, and I'm really opposed to going to a doctor. I was hoping someone might be able to offer some alternative advice. I'd like the doctor to be a very last resort...

sisterbecky- I find that really bizarre that it felt to your husband like a heart attack; that's not what i would expect. Thankfully that's not the kind of pain I'm having, that sounds frightening.
Either way, I'm going to look into some kind of liver/gallbladder flushing method... I have read about the olive oil method causing fake "stones" to be passed, so of course I'm skeptical of that, but I've been looking into other things as well.
Thank you everyone for your input, it is greatly appreciated.
There are some great ways to flush your gall bladder with lemons and olive oil.
I never really tried it, but I did once make a huge salad with a strong lemon juice and olive oil dressing.
I loved the dressing so much I ended up drinking the dressing at the bottom of the bowl.
I think what happened next was a "flush" with a few little stones after that.
There is a much more efficient way to do that includes fasting, drinking Epson's salts and water to clean your colon and then drinking a lemon juice/olive oil mixture.
I think curezone.com has a few ways to do this.
I really liked it. It was my first cleanse, and it was a month long. It was not a shock to your body. you go from 3 meals a day to just juice during the last week. all the while taking herbal tablets. I never felt or looked better. I highly recommend e'juva. Have you ever cleansed before?
I think you should go to the doctor, if it persists, just to rule out anything else. I had this problem back in September, that is when I went raw. The raw diet helped for about a month but then the pain started to come back. It kept me up at night. My attacks lasted 2-4 hours and were extremely uncomfortable. I would compare it to a one sided contraction. I was desperate, read about the cleanses on line, and tried doing a apple cleanse, but the pain remained. I finally had my gallbladder removed in October. I am very unhappy with my decision. Of course it is two fold. I went raw because of gallbladder pain, had the gallbladder removed and found that I could no longer digest meat. LOL so I have come to terms with my decision. I feel everything happens for a reason. I am now a very content energetic raw living food consumer. I hope this helps. If I were you I would find a naturopathic doctor and have them walk you through a whole body cleanse. I just recently completed an E'Juva cleanse. I LOVED my results. here is a website for this cleanse

I think it would have helped me.
Curezone.com has a lot of interesting ideas, with photos of results.
Another thing you might consider is that this could also be kidneys?
I always have back pain when I MC and usually chalk it up to my kidneys being flushed out.
But, I agree to have a Dr check you out, his diagnoses can help point you in a better direction.
Hi power lifter , I clicked on your juicing link. Are you knowledgeable in juicing?
I just bought an Omega and have been juicing everyday. But some of my juices are god awful.
I read about how beneficial sprout juices are, so the other night I had an abundance of mixed sprouts, so I juiced them with carrots chard, and pear. Well I drank it okay, but fought back the urge to barf for a good hour afterwords.
What did I do wrong?
I can use any kind of advise.
I am new at all of this.
Hi Powerlifter,
I did wash my sprouts, but I think you are right about the combination being the problem. It was a mix of radish, broccholi, and alfalfa and clover. What do you recommend I start with when juicing sprouts. Thanks for your help.
So what is the update? did you go to the doctor?
