First message and note to

[Guest guest]

This is the first time that I have sent a message to this group. So, I apologise

if I am

asking things that have already been covered previously.

I had my gallbladder removed twelve years ago and was assured by the surgeon

that it

would solve all my problems. Sorry, to I don't want to spoil any optimism

you may

feel, but it didn't give me my old life back. I built up again until two years

ago the

pain was again so bad that I was driven to go back to the doctor.But, I just

could not

face going through all that again.

I used a grapefruit and olive oil flush very sucessfully, but the stones kept

coming back.

(I should mention at this point that it makes me really mad when I keep being

told to cut

down on my fat, as this is causing the problem, I must be the only person who

actually

prefers skimmed milk, hates cheese and cream, eats v. little meat with no fat

on- you may

be getting the picture, so , I say this to the doctor/nurse etc., and they say

it must be

genetic then!!! what a cop out that phrase is. That means they have no idea why

you keep

getting stones). RANT, RANT!!

Then, I read an article on the net (I just love the net), it was from 1949,

suggesting

that a huge variety of digestive problems, are caused by food

intolerances.(Sorry, if this

has come up before). So, I tried eliminating small groups of food at a time,

while taking

a very good multivitamin. It has taken me nearly 18 months to track down some of

them ,

but I can't tolerate wheat, eggs, onions, tomatoes, pork, lamb and a few other

things just

give me a bit of indigestion. I still feel that I have one more to find as my

daily pain

level is barely noticeable, but not quite gone.

Has anyone had a similar experience or any ideas,I am going to try the other

cereals next

I think.

Good, luck , with your op. I believe they always do the keyhole surgery now,

which is

a lot easier to recover from.

Bye from

Jane.
