Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'm new to this group and already have a question! I had horrible gallbladder attacks during the last trimester of my third pregnancy last year. I finally gave in and went to the emergency room not thinking they could do anything, but I was desparate. They said I needed to have my gallbladder out after the baby was born. She turned 1 earlier this month and I still have my gallbladder. Haven't had an attack since then. However, I want to get pregnant again in the future and don't want to have more attacks if I can help it. So now that the baby isn't nursing as often I feel like I can do a flush. I was planning to do the olive oil and lemone juice (or grapefruit juice) this weekend. However, I gag really easily and just the thought of drinking this nauseates me. I tried it out of desperation about 3 days before my baby was born and it just made me throw up. I just read the recipe for the flush with olive oil and Coke. As much as I hate Coke it seems like it would cover the olive oil better than lemon or grapefruit juice. Would it be just as effective? ANyone here every try it? ALso, how important are the epsom salts? One more thing -- is it OK to do a juice fast before doing the flush or should I eat no-fat foods? I am planning to do an organic apple juice fast Friday and Saturday and then start the flush regime Saturday evening after I get home from Mass (that way I don't have to get up early Sunday morning for Mass). Thanks!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
