How To Get Rid O Gallstones - Peter Hutch

Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. We can develop one large stone or a multitude of smaller ones. Many people with gallstones have no symptoms at all. Others go through life relatively symptom free, experiencing minor symptoms such as abdominal bloating, intolerance to fatty foods, belching, intestinal gas and indigestion. For others, however they may suffer what is called a gallstone “attack”. Gallstone attacks often follow a fatty meal. Symptoms of an attack include steady, sever pain in the upper abdomen that can last from 30 minutes to several hours.

Gallstones can be reversed, but it’s something that takes quite a bit of time. After all, they have been formed in your body over a period of decades, so it's not something you can get rid of overnight from a nutritional standpoint. At the same time, I know that a lot of people are experiencing extreme pain when it comes to passing gall bladder stones. So obviously, those people are looking at surgical procedures as a more immediate technique for getting rid of the pain.

People who are overweight or who are attempting to lose weight quickly are more likely to get gallstones. Gallstones generally pass in families, pointing to a possible genetic link. Gallstones have different appearance, awaitning of their contents. The two kinds of gallstones are cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Cholesterol stones are normally green, but are occassionally white or yellow in color and account for around 80 percent of gallstones. They are primarily composed of cholesterol. Pigment stones are petite, dark stones made of bilirubin.

One of the most popular ways to get rid of gallstones naturally is a liver "cleanse". With a liver cleanse you are rewarding your liver for its daily work and in the process you are helping to alleviate the possibility of additional strain being placed on the gallbladder with the excess cholesterol and bile salts that can accumulate with an under-functioning liver. The liver works hard to remove the toxins (impurities) that build up in your body. These toxins include a wide array of pollutants, including excess fats, alcohol and anything we eat that needs to be filtered. A liver cleanse will usually last about a day and uses a variety of ingredients to flush out the liver.

Epsom salt dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water. You may then return to your normal eating schedule.Your next bowel movement you will see small gallstones in the toilet. They are light to dark green in color and sized from tiny sesame seeds to about the size of a large pea. If you see a lot of stones repeat the flush in about a month! This liver flush should be done once a year. After a flush make sure you keep the fiber flowing in your diet or your bowels might become a little sluggish.

Diet: Identify and avoid all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive, especially eggs, milk and dairy products, gluten, wheat and dairy products. Also reduce your saturated and overall fat intake, keeping it below 20 percent of the total foods you eat, and eliminate all processed and hydrogenated fats. But do not cut fat completely, as this can actually increase your chances of developing gallstones. Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, coconut oil) are the best fats to include in your diet.
