Gallbladder Sludge
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have frequent flare ups of gallbladder sludge (diagnosed after being on surgical ward in pain and had ultrasound done). Even when not having flare up can feel the ‘blob’ there constantly on the right just under my ribs. Going for CT with contrast on tuesday then back to consultant for results in May. Anyone else had the same problem? Just wish they would take it out flare ups make me feel so rough 😩

I was only in hospital for the day.
If it is causing you problems then get rid of it you will feel a lot better afterwards.
Take care and keep in touch

Have you researched ursodioxycholic acid treatment? This works for some who use that method of dissolving cholesterol type stones. It works by raising the bile acid level in the gall bladder and tube. Many UK doctors seem unaware of that method which is none other than disgraceful.
My truthful post stated that a registrar (learner) had never heard of Ursodioxycholic acid & yet her superior
knew that ursodioxycholic acid will dissolve gall stones of type and he then prescribed me it and within six months it had reduced my five stones to two and reduced the diameter of the biggest stone from 17mm to 10 mm. Since that time I have not been symptomatic at all and I am on a healthy diet which does not mean a low fat one........ It has been researched that a low fat diet in some instances (would you believe) can induce gall stones to form because the gall bladder is not flushed out as it is when it is called upon to work.
Although it is said to be an 'old wives tale' - half a fresh lemon pulp and juice emulsified in a quarter cup of very warm olive oil will flush the gall bladder. I can say without question this is true but it is a vile drink and the explosion on the loo will vouch for it's clearing effect!
