Oh mighty gallbladder


So I'm slightly dreading Friday and Saturday morning... I have to do a Gall Bladder Flush. Which is also called a liver flush... Gall bladder issues reign in my family and mine seems to not want to agree with alot of what I am eating. Im tired of eating dinner and having it either come right back up or eating 2 bites and feeling immensly full. Not to mention all the other side symptoms that go along with it.

So today, I can only drink apple juice or eat apples because the Malic Acid in it softens the stones or deposits in the Gall Bladder, then Friday I cant eat anything with fat in it (so it doesnt stimulate the gall bladder) so like oatmeal or fruit.. and then I cant eat anything after 2pm.

After that its 3/4 cup epsom salt water 3 times until 9:45pm and I have until 10 to drink an olive oil and grapefruit mixture and go to bed and let it do its work. (The olive oil stimulates the gall bladder so it spits out the stones) Im just not looking forward to the oil. Im big on textures and even if the flavor is good on something but the texture is too weird then I gag.

So wish me luck on this. I guess if you rid yourself of the stones your allergies can go away and your skin will clear up because when you have stones, its like putting marbles in a garden hose. The bile cant go anywhere so it backs up and solidifys so your liver cant break down fats and proteins properly so your liver gets backed up with toxins, which worse case scenario leads to cancer, but in the mean time just gives you awful digestion/indigestion, and skin problems and allergies. And the thing that got me was that if you have got these stones, they are porous so they will accumulate bacteria, cancers and parasites/worms!! ICKY!!

The best part about it is its all natural, and you can do this instead of having your gall bladder removed... but... ugghhh... olive oil..
