It sounds like that is a good possibility. The gallbladder can rupture or deflate. A person can have radiating pain to their back, down their arm and can have a yellow tinge to their body and\or eyes.

My mom had all of this and had hers taken out because it ruptured. Sepsis is a real possibility. Other than that an ulcer can cause extreem pain like that- or a gallstone which can now be destroyed with high frequency sound waves.

I would suggest a lot of cucumber juice, cabbage juice, and ginger combo. I hope this helps.

anyone have experience with a gall bladder flush or know where I can find some quality information on it?

gall bladder flushes can be really difficult for some people...if it's the way you want to go though, the Jubb's book 'Life Food Recipe Book' has some good info.


If it were me I'd go with Chanca Piedra which is believed to break up gall stones and help to clean out the gall bladder and liver. Cup of tea 3 times a day for a month beats the heck out of drinking olive oil and lemon juice

I had a gallbladder attack back when I was a cooked meateater and did this cleanse and it saved my part. The hospital told me I had an ulcer, gave me pain pills and a $5000 bill. The pain stayed so I searched the net, read this thing, believed, did it and shit a bunch of green rocks the next day and felt 5 years younger and all discomfort and pain from my side was gone.

Maybe forward to your friend and let her read through it, when I did that it just made sense to try it and it worked.

Because the nurses already made mention of it...you can probably assume this..but just in case:

- First things first: Check if the gallblader is actually on the side where the pain is


--------------

what kind of diet is this person on...are they raw..or transitioning?

sometimes even extreme abdominal stuff can just be gases...either toxins coming out of the system, poor food combing/fermentation.etc.. I would certainly troubleshoot further prior to doing any kind of cleanse with oils etc...not that I have the experience either way to be for or against them. From what I know...having no gallbladder is way big a deal then the medical community would let on, its a pretty hardcore handicap for future health.

I would probably talk with some kind of alternative professional that may have seen alot of these cases (a colonic hydrotherapist..as oppsed to a 'holistic doctor' ) and see if its wise to do a treatment or not, or eat a specific diet for a bit high fiber/low fiber etc...
