For the last 4 years, his wbc have been real low. He complains of stomach pain in his lower right side and back area. He is fatigued alot, drives 1 hr to work and back home in an office job and yet rides his bicycle twice a week about 40-50 miles each time. He was very sick around Christmas time with stomach issues, and later anytime around alot of people get infection - like the last time was pink eye.

He has had all kinds of tests - MRIs, ultrasounds, blood and all the GI doc says is maybe fatty liver disease, or maybe gallbladder, but the GI says neither of those are conclusive.  He said he could take his gallbladder out, but it's not a for sure thing and not sure if it will help.

He is so tired of being sick.  He's depressed of course and will turn 64 in August.  I know we aren't doctors here, but perhaps someone might have some ideas?

thank you.

    Hi. Have him try a cleanse every morning. Organic apple cider. It helped me with my gallbladder issues. Just a table spoon. Or try it with warm apple juice. Hope it helps your hubby.

    Hi Debra , I forgot to tell you that activated charcoal must be taken 2 hours apart of any meds and supplements otherwise charcoal will absorb them.

    If he gets attacks that last for a set period, perhaps 2 to 12 hours and then subsides quite quickly back to normal, then pursue a gb diagnosis further. The stones don't necessarily show up and you need to be seen in ER when the attack is underway. Seeing your doctor when it has passed by is of little use.
