Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi there, I am new to the group and also new to the idea of gallstones. I am 37 years old, have one child of 14 months. I have had pain under my right ribs for 10 years now, on and off. It usually gets worse after eating dairy products for a few days. If I dont back off it will become excruciating to the point that i cannot lie on that side and bending over is painful. It gets worse and worse if i keep eating, and will respond to ibuprofen. All this time i thought it was my ileo-ceacal valve, but Im beginning to think it might be my liver or gall bladder. I recently bought a copy of the Liver Cleansing Diet, and from her descriptions, I think i have a liver or gallstone problem. I went for a physical a few days ago and she has taken blood to do liver functions. She also noticed my thyroid was slightly enlarged. I dont know if this is related. I would appreciate any suggestions or comments. I would not opt for gallbladder removal and would be interested in the diets people have gone on to flush their gallbladders. How do the stones come out? Kim - chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
