Anyone know about polyps? warfarin??

[Guest guest]

Hi, I've just found/joined this list and am only a couple of hours

away from trying my first flush using one from Cabot's liver

and bowel book. It's essentially lemon juice and olive oil with a

touch of garlic and ginger (for taste??).

I had three horrific episodes of pain -- all within a week -- about

three months ago and an ultrasound found a small polyp in my

gallbladder.

The GP sent me straight to the surgeon who put the fear of God into

me and told me the gallbladder had to come out. He mentioned (and

I'm sure I read it somewhere) that a polyp could be a stone and I

also recall reading somewhere that stones don't always show on

ultrasound, so maybe I'm riddled with them (the scan report said no

stones visible).

I'm 40, male, and have a pretty sedentary lifestyle and over the

years have eaten all the wrong things.

To complicate things I've been on lipid lowering medication for about

20 years and for the past five years have been on warfarin after

having two blood clots in my calves. It turns out I'm genetically

pre-disposed to clotting and will be on warfarin for life.

Anyone else in the same boat ... I'd love to hear.
