Feel very sorry to hear about your issues, that too in this young age. Be patient full and keep going with safe lifestyle. Things will change slowly and gradually. You will be surprised over a period of an year. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your kind words. I luckily haven't had any gallbladder issues in over a year. :) I'm hoping it stays that way.
In 2016 I went to hospital for what I thought was a heart attack..a family member had died and I felt horrible..
Dr ran test and found I have gallstones...I have no pain and am living with them...I am doing keto
And doing fine..praying they will not get worse...
So you haven't been having attacks, was it just that one time? :O That's good to hear because having those attacks consistently is so draining or painful! Best of luck that it was just a one time thing. Were you fasting at all before that time, I think fasting hardcore is what led to mine.
Sad to hear your issues, but I can relate. My entire family (Grandmother, mom,aunts, cousins, uncles, etc). have had gall stones and their gallbladders removed. I believe I was genetically predisposed. I am a 53yr old man and suffered from gallstones since my early 20s and I got tired of the fear of an attack at any time, so I decided about 20 yrs ago to do the surgery, no problems ever since. It was not bad at all compared to the procedure in the 70s. They now do it laparoscopically with a few incisions and remove the gallbladder through you belly button. It is also the 2nd most performed surgery in the USA after c-sections. I did try several cleanses and homeopathic remedies prior to surgery with no success, including an oral epson salt cleanse and grapefruit juice.
Best wishes to you!
Gallstones can originate either from hormones or cholesterol . I was diagnosed with them over 23 yrs ago. Started a juicing routine and discovered the herb Chanca pedra also. Eliminated high fat and spicy foods. Hope I never have to get it removed 🙏🏻
Chanca Pedro ✅✅✅
Well done and thank you Peetieee. I have gallstones as well as of September 2022. I want to hear of other peoples journey to live with gallstones like yourself. I have chosen to keep my gallbladder. it is a steep learning curve as expected. Once or twice I strongly considered giving up and removing my gallbladder. It was the acute spasm pain moments and I take Buscopan a prescribed medication and use it in these situations. I've continued on as I have noticed it is certain foods that I'll binge eat and wham the spasm pain is on.
I'll continue now listening to your journey and once again it is much appreciated hearing from others with gallstones and the choice to live on and keep the gallbladder. Kia piki te ora ki a koe (good health to you).
Thank you
@@Lifeofloops Great to hear that. I only get attacks now depending on what I eat, and eat too much of the trigger foods or the combination of certain foods.
@@downtoearth5108 That sounds much nicer than having attacks all the time. I'm happy for you ☺
You were eating shit that aggravated more. I'm going through it right now. Im taking bile salts, magnesium, milk thistle. Drinking, apple cider vinegar with fresh lemon juice and water. I'm about to buy the chanka Piedra, I heard that works miracles. I hope it goes away for all of us. This shit is no joke
Dude no it's not. I hated my life while I had attacks and was afraid to eat. I feel like those pills worked for me. I tried bile salt pills, the apple cider vinegar (which is gross af), lemon and water, and drinking tons of water during some attacks and none of it helped me. I do think I started having attacks due to these crazy apple fasts I would do, so I always tell my friends when they are trying to go on crazy diets like don't fast because gallstones. :P
So glad i found your video! Yes it seems like everyone is just like "girl, get your gallbladder out!", but i am scared to death of surgery...lol 😬 I did a lot of research as well & i agree with the person who posted about Dr. Berg's advice to keep eating fat & that a lot of people make it worse when they try to cut out fat & then the bile just sits there & hardens into stones because our gallbladder only uses it to break down fats. Honestly mine started last year- just thought i was having a terrible gas attack the first few times. I tend to eat a LOT of junk food & when i do (like all day long) i would go to bed at night & around midnight wake up with excruciating pain that would last about 3 hours & then go away just like it was never there. I started Keto/Intermittent Fasting/Low Carb & hardly ever had any issues except when i would have a cheat day & eat lots of junk again the whole day. This year i have had a few attacks- some so bad i thought i'd pass out- those hit me after a cheat meal like maybe within 30 minutes after the meal- hit hard & felt like i was gonna die from the pain, but then went away in maybe 15-20 minutes. I started drinking Apple Cider Vinegar 2tsp in a glass of water with lemon & a few drops of liquid Splenda & it seems to help as well preventatively- even when i am eating pizza or other junk food. I am always looking for any other tips because i don't want to get my gallbladder out either unless i have to. Today as i am typing this my right side feels annoyed, but not in pain- havent eaten anything yet today, but i went ahead & drank some ACV & hope that it helps it to just feel better. I hope all goes well for you & everyone else going through this pain 🤗❤
Hi! :) Yeah it sucks! I tried the ACV and I'm a baby and hate the taste but a few times have had bad attacks and tried it to hopefully get rid of the pain and it never worked for me and I was more annoyed since I hate the taste and it didn't help lol. Honestly, I have been taking Chanca Piedra now for months and thankfully haven't had an attack for a while since like maybe January so I think it's working or if anything at least breaking up my stones to where they aren't causing trouble right now. Yes, I eat bad and was eating bad until I started having attacks or when I have an attack I will like not eat anything except can chicken soup with rice for a few weeks because I get scared of eating after attacks lol. I don't want to get mine removed either if I don't have to. My mom got hers removed last year and she has trouble with digestion still and says she feels uncomfortable after eating most days and I would hate to still be dealing with probs even after removing an organ.
hi.. please do liver cleanse with epsom salt. and olive oil orrange juice. liver cleanse you can search in youtuve videos..you will b cleared with these prblms
Andreas Mortiz speaks extensively about your issue. Don't you dare remove it. Listen and read what he says about his book The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder flush he promotes. Plenty of videos here on you tube.
All you need is six days, ACV, Epsom Salts, olive oil and lemon juice... following Andreas directions... enjoy!
that's why you don't only eat less fat but a lot of fibres and drink a lot of water. This way the bile won't become concentrated enough to form stones.
@@shriyaaspireerp4474 its not the stones you will flash doing this, dont do it.
I have learned I have gallstones as well. I don’t want the surgery and am trying to eat healthy. Very hard to eat healthier when anything sugary has been my primary love. Oatmeal in the morning is boring. I have went to a natural path and have gotten supplements. Getting better but still crave and eat out sometimes. Just to let you know that your not alone. Take care.
OMG, I feel you. When I was having attacks, that was the hardest thing, although after so many attacks you sometimes see those good foods as the enemy. I thankfully (knock on wood) haven't had any attacks in a few years, but those attacks traumatized me for a good while.
Try adding cinnamon and Splenda brown sugar to your oatmeal. I also use almond milk instead of whole milk or water. This makes me look forward to my instant oatmeal. The sweetness makes a big difference 😊
go to a naturopath .. then liver cleanse … perhaps a few .
The carnivore diet helps me a lot. No attacks. The thing about low fat is a myth. A lot of vegans got gallstones. I believe that's why I got it too.
Omg, yes! I've watched different people on youTube who appear to have started issues when they went vegan. Thankfully I haven't had any GB issues in over a year. I think some supplements I was taking for a while helped. The dieting thing I am working on, the struggle is real :O
I too have gall stones. I switched to a diet with no chicken or beef, mostly vegetables of all kinds, no dairy. I experimented a few days ago and ate only 2 teaspoons of guacamole and I had some pain because avocados are very high in fat. Good or bad fat is a “no” for me. I read labels so I look for foods with almost no fat or very, very low fat and also no cholesterol. This diet is making the difference for me. I do take a multivitamin and after listening to your video will switch to a prenatal vitamin instead.
Hi can you give examples of what you eat please
The bad thing about not eating any fat at all is that your gallstones will not have any bile production to be pushed into the gall bladder. So what happens is that all your gallstones just sits in the gallbladder to slowly form up through time. It's better to eat some healthy fats and take apple cider vinegar with ox bile to stimulate the bile going into the gallbladder so that it can try to dissolve the gallstones partially through time.
Chicken is fine just dont deep fry it, you actually need fats like healthy fats(omega) you can get from chicken and fish
@@coolgamers2794 yeah no fat eating will just make the bile sit around more. The stones will get worse. If you have symptomatic gallbladder issues, your gallbladder is done for. You can delay the surgery but one day it will hit you hard enough to do an emergency surgery when you get to old age and that will not be fun if you also have other complications like infections or stones getting blocked in bile duct and damaging pancreas and liver. I know 2 people in my circle who died in their 60s because they delayed the surgery for many years. Their gallbladder became gangrenous over multiple years of chronic inflammation.
Hello, thank you for your story! I also have gallbladder issues( sludge). Usually i have the attacks in early pregnancy and postpartum ( ive had 5 children). So hormones i really do believe can cause gallbladder attacks. They seem to come and go away for months but seem to revolve around my hormones.
Sorry to hear that 😣
For stop pain in gallblader is good to add in the bottle hot watter that u can have on your body end add on the right side where is the liver end sit on righ side end stay there untill pass
Thank you for posting! I've always wanted to post videos, but I don't have the guts to lol. How are you doing now? I haven't had these GB attacks you all speak of, but I have been having an annoying pain in my upper right abdomen. It all started while I was pregnant a year and a half ago. Ever since then the pain comes and goes but it's not severe or anything. Fast forward to this past January 2022... I ended up getting covid and 3 weeks after that the pain became a bit more severe in the same spot but also on my back. Then I started getting a pain in my lower right abdomen. I also have had other symptoms (sorry if it's TMI) but my stool has been lighter in color. I went to the doctor and after a normal few bloodwork tests and ultrasounds, they finally ordered me a CT scan that revealed gallstones and appendicitis 🙄 that's where I'm at right now. They gave me these strong antibiotics for the appendicitis that I'm currently almost done with, but they made it seem like the gallstones weren't a big deal. I'm just curious how you are doing now and if you have discovered any new remedies/treatments to help you? I would like to get rid of my stones without surgery 😫 oh and you are beautiful btw!😊
As of now (hopefully I don’t jinx it) I haven’t had any more GB attacks. Honestly, I really think those Chanca Piedra pills worked at least for me. I don’t know if they work for everyone but that’s the only thing I was consistent with is taking those and I am assuming (I’m not a doctor though lol) that they broke my stones enough where they just don’t cause issues. I also think my stones got worse (worse where they started causing attacks) when I was doing these apple fasts a lot and I don’t fast anymore haha. I learned my lesson.
Bless your heart!
@@Lifeofloops don’t gallstones take 10-20 years to form? How long were you fasting with apples to cause the issue. I was fasting too when the attack happened
@@vitd5283 Honestly I don't remember the exact period I did it for I just remember I was doing my fasts for 1-3 days usually like every couple of weeks for a couple of months. I thought they took a long time to form but I thought I read somewhere that they could bigger and that they grow so much every year usually. So I thought if I had some maybe when I was fasting hardcore, the extra cholesterol was making the stones I already had bigger and then they became a prob. Just a guess though, I'm not a doctor 🥴😳
I did find this info on this website which I didn't check the sources so not sure if the credibility is 100...
wakegastro.com/patient-info/patient-education/gallstones/
However, other factors that contribute to gallstones have been identified, especially for cholesterol stones:
Rapid weight loss. As the body metabolizes fat during rapid weight loss, it causes the liver to secrete extra cholesterol into bile, which can cause gallstones.
Fasting. Fasting decreases gallbladder movement, causing the bile to become overconcentrated with cholesterol, which can lead to gallstones.
I was doing both, those apple fasts were making me lose weight pretty fast. That was the only thing that I could pin point in my life before I had any GB issues. :(
I'm not 100% positive but if I had to guess that is what made me start having gallbladder attacks.
@@Lifeofloops Thank you for the response. Just rewatched your video. I'm also taking Chanca Piedra (and TUDCA). How are you doing now, 2 years later? I was thinking of dong the Moritz liver and gallbladder flush. Have you considered that? I'm there with you - if it needs to come out ok but I'd like to see if I can heal and keep it. Thanks again.
Hell yeah that’s exactly what I was going threw once a month for a year and here lately it’s gotten super worse set an appointment with a gastroenterologist and got a the camera Down my mouth and a ultrasound done . But due to corona there closed right now and didn’t get my ultrasound results yet . He put me on meds . But the pain was horrible I just wanted to cry for my mama for help . But yeah I didn’t make the best eating choices. Now I just eat apples pears and oatmeal and meal replacement. Just picked up a bottle of Chanca Piedra today. I keep a food log . But let us know when u get that app running.
You should totally try those other pills too, the bile salts ones! I've been taking both, the Super Enzymes pills you take one after each meal and I'm not sure if it's the Chance Piedra or the Super Enzymes or the combination of both but ***knock on wood***, I haven't had an attack or pain since January 8 so something is working lol And yes I should be starting that app soon because I think it would be so helpful! :)
Take apple cider vinegar empty stomach early morning and take meal after an hour of its intake....if it does not cause issues with bone pain, you can take twice a day.
Also take berberis vulgaris 20 drops 4 times a day in half a cup water. Water temp must be mild.
Medicine I recommended is homeopathy.
Atleast take it for 2 months and you realise in meantime that your stones are crushing and exceting through pee.
Do an ultrasound after 2 months and check the results. Try not to operate it unless you are getting attacks frequently
@@Lifeofloops if you want to avoid gallblader attacks,take fried food with non fried eg if you eat chips then eat biscuit along ...
if you eat fried food ,take non fried food along..eg if you eat fried chicken eat with bread/biscuits along
to avoid gallblader attacks take fried foods along with non fried
Hi Peetiee, Good to see your video. what would be interesting is i would like to understand whats the size of the gallstones you had, and how are the natural remedies working out? Is there an improvement or the gallstones size is reducing? Can you also throw some light on the home remedies you follow apart from the fatty foods avoidance. Looking forward to hear from you.
Hi :) sorry I've been bad with checking my stuff on here. One year later, don't know if this will help :(
I haven't had any more attacks. I personally feel like these pills I took worked for me (Chanca Piedra). The only other remedies I tried which didn't help at all was Apple Cider Vinegar (barf, so gross and it didn't help me), I tried lemon with water, a bunch of water alone, taking a hot shower, and a heating pad but that none really helped. I was unable to lay down when I would have attacks. I would just do these weird stretches with my door lollll and pace around my room until it was over. I do think what caused mine was these crazy apple fasts I did for a while before I started having attacks.
Great video this video helped me because I suffer from gallstones. I did order stonebreaker so hope it works for me. I was looking for the best probiotic I can take for as well and you stated that so will try thanks
Did it work with the Stonebreaker? Been reading a lot about it.
Did the probiotics help. I still try and take them (when I remember) and I love them. TMI but they make that part of my day consistent :)
Did the Chanca Piedra pills work?
@@Lifeofloops yes drink alot of water with it
I have a gallstone and calcium buildup in my gallbladder . sometimes it hurts . im eating healthy now . ive qhuit drinking . its been only about half a week eating healthy . and i feal those results already . i have gastritis 2 . im on antidepresent medication . so i hope i can take better care of myself . im going to get a follow up w a specialist . i was going to travel to mexico . but i think the best thing to do is avoid that with my illness .
Oh no that sucks about having to cancel your travel. I know for me personally that I think those Chance Piedra pills worked and I haven't had an attack since a little before this video (hope I don't jinx it). I hope you feel better and get it under control without having to do surgery. My mom had the surgery and I feel like she's always having digestive issues now. I know everyone has diff results with surgery though.
I GOT RID of MINE EASY PEASY …
on ONE DAY.
(attacks mean your liver is in a bad state… usually non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
DO NOT HAVE IT REMOVED is my advice.(unless it’s about to burst)
I definitely need to log ! Thankyou for making this video ❤️
Yes, logging your food, pain level, and how long they take will help a lot! At least it did for me. The biggest relief was knowing how long the attacks would last because then I'd mentally prepare for how long I'd be in pain for :D which is sad but it's true. I used to pace around for like two hours and tell myself okay after the first two hours if it still hurts you can cry :)
I wish I would’ve known I could’ve healed my gallbladder. I had it removed when I was 18 and have been dealing with other digestive problems since.
Are you taking any supplements at all for it? I remember reading or watching someone talking about ..., I think they're maybe called enzymes or something like that, and I think it's essentially like bile salts ... I may be butchering this. But I've heard of some people who take those after having their GB removed, I think you take them with food and it basically replaces the function the GB did with digestion and the bile or something like. I could be wrong, but maybe Google it. I heard it helps sometimes, well with some people. 😔
I saw your comment further down about a month ago that you haven't had more attacks since around the time of this video. Glad to hear you are doing better. I just had the first attack that was really painful for me to notice last week, I'm not really sure if I had other minor ones or not. I really do not want surgery. Do you still take supplements? Would you mind posting links or the names of the ones that helped you? Are you able to eat more foods you enjoy? I do intermittent fasting and eat usually just 1x per day, some times longer fasts. But when I do eat I want to really enjoy the food. My hubby and I both do the fasting together. We do eat a lot of fast food and pizza both before and after starting intermittent fasting. Even the "healthier food" of steak and salad sounds dangerous for the gallstones/gallbladder issues.
I don't take the supplements anymore. Once I noticed I wasn't having any more attacks I stopped taking them. Of course, at first I was taking capsule ones but I noticed some of the capsules were misshaped and looked sharp and didn't want to continue taking capsules because that made me uncomfortable and switched to just tablet form.
I'll link both. :)
Capsule link:

Tablet link (My personally preferred):
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071KR997R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Once you start having them, eating anything even a little unhealthy is so scary! I don't miss those days. :(
Honestly, I haven't had any more attacks, I don't take the supplements, and these last couple of years I have been eating how I ate before I ever started having attacks. The only thing I haven't tried is tuna sandwiches and not because I think they will give me an attack but I just remember one bad attack that I thought was caused by tuna sandwiches so I'm still bitter at tuna and they just have this negative vibe now for me 😂
I hope you have the same luck as me if you end up trying them. I would run it by your doctor first because I'm not a doctor. I just wanted to share my experience. :)
I know the other thing I read about that I was going to try if the pills didn't work after a few months was the flush that I think "Andreas Moritz" recommends. Thankfully, the pills worked for me so I didn't have to try anything else.
i didn't have attacks for 2 yrs plus and then back this year...
i tried saving mine since 2021... It has to come out now in 2024... pain and discomfort daily now... i'm 49
Very very good information! I'm lying here in bed hopefully at the tail end of this attack! Did an ultrasound and found I have sludge and stones they said nothing that needs immediate surgery but when your in the pain all you want is immediate relief right? So been about a week been very constipated and haven't been eating much either do to the pain. Just had some naked green machine smoothie with apple cider vinegar after eating some roast and mashed potatoes last night and I'm feeling a little better I think. Let's see what happens lol. Again good information and have to say one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen I just had to put that in there lol. What do you do for the pain!???
HEY! Years later, how’s the Chanca Piedra???? It has saved my life forreal so I’m *very* curious your experience lol about to creep your channel for an update 😂
Darn it. No update lmao. Let me know girl!! ♥️
So glad you mentioned it
@@thedouglaspodcast Hey! :) I haven't had any attacks since a little before I posted this video if I remember correctly :D I'm so glad it helped you too!
I’m currently dealing with GB and liver issues! I’ve had three attacks since August. I finally broke down and went to my doctor and my blood tests came back with elevated liver enzymes. I’m not heavily over weight nor do I eat a lot of fatty foods. It’s so weird. I had an ultrasound last week and I’m waiting for those results. I feel your pain!!!
Have you done any fasting recently? I’m pretty positive that’s what led to me having Gb issues. I was doing these crazy fasts of only eating apples for a few days every few weeks and shortly after started having attacks. 🥺
I haven’t done the liver/gallbladder flush myself but a lot of people have done it and swear by it. You should read the book by I think Andrea Moritz. I stopped having GB attacks and havent had any in over a year. I took some Chanca Piedra supplements everyday for a few months while not eating foods that were causing me attacks and I personally think that helped. I stopped having attacks so haven’t been taking the supplements anymore and also have been eating fatty foods again and haven’t had attacks. (Knock on wood) 😳
elevted liver enzymes is not good. Maybe you have bile duct blocks from gallstones. Ask for thorough evaluation. Dont ignore this!
Do not have it removed unless it is so infected, it is in danger of bursting.
that’s my advice .. been there…,
@@snowyowl6892 bursting happens after years of chronic inflammation. That is already too late. You already made your body suffer from chronic inflammation which whacks out your immune system response. I have done gallbladder surgery and i dont have any issues at all.
I'm so glad you posted this video... Thank you.. I'm in same position as you. Have you tried the gallbladder flush? There are so many people who posted about it. Do you plan on removing your gallbladder? I really don't want to take out my gallbladder. :( It's so shocking that thats the only solution doctors have for us after 1000s of years of medical system. What a shame...
Honestly, I have been wanting to do the flush. First, my school schedule was the whole week and so I was waiting until I didn't have anything to do in case the side effects lol lasted longer than it says in the flush...but now with the whole COVID-19 thing I'm going to wait to try it longer bc I've read some people have had negative responses to it and have had to go to the hospital and I would hate to be one of those people and have to go to the hospital right now with the whole pandemic thing going on lol. For now though, I have been pretty successful with those stone breaker pills and taking the bile acids after I eat heavy foods *knock on wood*...I think once this pandemic blows over I am going to for sure do the flush as many times as possible (hopefully it's successful) and once I don't see stones I plan on making an appointment with a gallbladder specialist to see if my gallstones are less since doing the flushes and taking those pills and depending on that....if they still see stones then I might just get it removed because I hate living like this where I'm constantly afraid to eat sometimes after having an attack.
When is the last time you had an attack? And how long do yours last? Have you found any relief methods when you get attacks? 😭
@@Lifeofloops Same concerns/worries here... I'm going through the same thing as you. Right now I get intermittent pain under my right rib and back and feels like something moving inside like bubbling. lol... This is my 3rd time around so far. First attack happened 3 months back after eating pizza then again when I had pizza a month ago and now few days ago it started again.
God knows what's going on inside me. I just hope it doesn't block ducts inside me. I think one way to know if there's any bile duct block is if you start having pale stools and dark urine with yellowing of your skin. Then we are in big trouble. As that can also lead to acute Gallstone Pancreatitis... :( That's a big medical emergency.
I don't want to go get US right now cuz of the pandemic. I don't want to end up with the virus along with this problem. I have been researching for few days and came across few people who regretted taking out their gallbladder since now they have more things to worry about. Also, they say once you take out your gallbladder that doesn't mean you won't get any more stones. You are likely to get LIVER STONES after cholecystectomy... so then what? Are we going to remove our liver too?
God... just so frustrated with no other treatment for this from the medical community besides taking out our organs and creating more problems.
@@Lifeofloops I found these 2 links that share how we should change our diet. So I have decided to make big changes such as taking fiber daily, no carbs/ dairy/limited sugar/, just oatmeal , fish, fruits, vegies, and soups.

@@Lifeofloops I just bought malic acid (found in green apples) from Walmart which is claimed to make gallstones soft. So I take that and it seems to reduce my gallbladder pain after it starts. Is chanca piedra helpful, how much are you taking? Which other supplements are you taking? Bile salts from where? I'm about to buy it after I research it on ncbi.
Here's what I found from other users of Chanca Piedra:
Chanca Piedra will disolve gall stones, but it takes time.
I had gall stones about 6 years ago, and my Dr wanted to operate.
I used Chanca Piedra for kidney stones years before, so refused.
It took about 4 months to completely eliminate them.
They came back two months ago.
I should have taken a maintenance dose.
I take 6 a day for the first month then 3 a day.
If you're having a lot of pain, the duct may be completely plugged.
The gallbladder could also be infected.
In either case you need to see your Dr.
his stuff works for both kidney stones and gall stones. I take it before bed and in the morning you can see the sediment from the breakdown of the stones. Yes i said stones. I produce them regularly. They found a gallstone the last time i went to the ER for stone. Was gone when I had a ultrasound before going on a trip. (Didn't want to visit an ER in a different state.) 2nd time ordering this product. Highly recomend!!!
Dr. Eric Berg utube videos. Will explain everything to you and what to do about it.just type in your problem and a2 minutes video explains everything. You will love him i promise.
Hi I was just checking to see if you are doing well and still able to live with your gallstones years later?
I haven't had any more attacks, and I still have my GB :)
That's great. I just heard about a new procedure they are doing at Medstar Hospital in Washington, DC to remove gallstones without removing the gallbladder. It is done by Dr. John
Smirniotopoulos, MD and the MedStar Interventional Radiology team called dual modality lithotripsy-a highly effective, nonsurgical treatment that leaves no fragments behind with percutaneous cholangioscopy.
@@kriseme4734 That sounds super interesting and much better than having the whole organ removed!😲Are you going to maybe have that done, I'm curious about what that would be like if you do. I really hope you find a way to stop having attacks, it's so horrible! I do not miss mine at all. Mine used to last just about 3 hours, and I am a weirdo, and would pace around and do weird stretches with my door for the like first 2 hours, and then by the last hour I would finally let myself scream and cry. 😐
I know how you felt - sadly, my attacks last 6 hours!! I can only lay down because my back and side hurts at the same time. I am considering this procedure. I am waiting to have an updated MRI done, and then I'll have a virtual doctor visit to see if the doctor thinks J would be a good candidate for the procedure. If not, I will consider having it removed. I'll keep you posted. 😊🤗
@@Lifeofloops you're young. i didn't have symptoms until 45....
I have a lot of gas inside, and I feel gas pain inside my belly and back, first I just thought it was a gas pain on and off for years, but suddenly I didn't have an appetite in one morning can't eat my breakfast that was three months ago, and pain started on the sides, back, chest, belly but I still felt gas pain for three weeks I barely can eat anything that I lost 7lbs I called my Dr and he said to go to the hospital and found out I have gallstones, Dr said not to eat fatty food and arranged to see surgeon and the surgeon said to remove the gallbladder and I said just to remove stones, he said stones would form back if the gallbladder was still there but he didn't get back to me yet I told him the pain has been reduced but I still get minor pain on and off but not as bad as the first three weeks, I stopped eating fatty, fast and processed meats, and few times I was very hungry and I felt the pain but as soon as I ate, the pain stopped.
I'm so sorry! 😞It sucks so bad having attacks! I hate how just because they form again, their best solution is get rid of your whole organ. Like it makes sense from their perspective and future expenses, but still that sucks. Yeah, if you haven't had it removed you should maybe research the Chanca Piedra and see peoples results with that besides mine and just inform yourself on it to see if maybe that could an option for a couple months to try. Also, there is this flush this man wrote a book about that some people swear by too! If my attacks wouldn't have stopped, I had planned on trying the flush next. It's just more of a pain because you prob have to take a week off from work since you have to use the bathroom a lot to flush them out, TMI, or at least that's what I believe.
Have you ever considered a gall bladder flush? I seen a lot of videos about the flush on here
Yes I have :) If I ever start having attacks (I haven't since a little before this video) I plan on doing the Chanca Piedra pills again and then if that doesn't work anymore then the flush for sure. Knock on wood thought that I don't ever have GB issues.
are you still fine? My doctor said that if I keep the diet without ever eating anything it doesn't include, my gallstones should remain asymthomatic. Since I'm male, I don't have hormones that cause new stones to form and the diet prevents it as well, but it's most important goal is to prevent attacks but not stimulating the gallbladder too much. My main question will be: how could you allow yourself to eat bad things, not following the diet, knowing that it can cause acute pancreatitis, which can potentially kill you (even though the risk for young people without heavy comorbidities is low). A single thought about it will not ever let me eat anything bad
Hi, that's great. I'm glad you have good self control :)
Hi
I'm from India.
I'm also facing gallbladder issue from two weeks.
I've gallbladder stone.
There's a complete cure in homeopathy.
Try it with a good homeopathic doctor.
You don't have to get your gallbladder removed.
Two years ago my sister gallstones were also dissolved by homeopathy.
I'm also getting positive results.
In Allopathy there's no cure, only surgery is there.
So I recommend you for homeopathy.
Hope you'll follow my advice.
Hi Shoaib, have you already started taking homeo medicine? Biggest Challange with homeo is getting a good doctor. Do you have any suggestions?
@@anuradhamarupaka5247
No, due to covid that good doctor is not coming.
Also I'm busy in my father's health issues.
Unfortunately I haven't started treatment.
When I'll start then I'll let you know.
@@MohdShoaib-yb8qo Hi, can you tell which doctor did you show to. And do homeopathic medicine really work? Because I have heard from some people that they took medicine for 5-6 months but their stones didn't reduce. Your sisters got reduced, please tell so that we can trust homeopathy
@@MohdShoaib-yb8qo What specific herbs/supplements did you take?
No one explains the liver and gallbladder flush more clearly then Dr. Andreas Mortiz here on you tube. If you still have your Gallbladder try the flush he advocates and save yourself from needless surgery.
Yeah I was going to try the flush if those supplements didn’t work but thankfully I haven’t had issues again and I’m pretty sure what cause my stones was fasting frequently since I’m one of those buffoons who used to try those crazy fad diets to lose weight. I think depriving yourself of food or fasting hardcore causes stones 😳
@@Lifeofloops the flush if done correctly has no risk, costs almost nothing and extremely effective. You should definitely try Andrea Mortiz's flush. Intermittent fasting is a safe way to fast.
@@Lifeofloops I'm getting ready to try the gallbladder cleanse, I have constant pressure under my right side. fingers crossed
@@tjburr1968 fasting is precisely why gallstones happen due to irregular bile flow which makes bile even more concentrated in gallbladder. Fasting is good but you have to do slow weight loss if you are already having gallbladder attacks.
Have you tried taking Bile Salts? And have you tried doing a gal flush?
I haven't tried the flush yet because I tried these supplements and eating foods that were not causing me attacks for a couple of months and thankfully i haven't had issues for over a year. But I have read that book about the flush by Moretz and if I start having attacks again I will prob do that flush and take those supplements again. Are you having issues with your gallbladder? :(
@@Lifeofloops Im not sure if im having issues. i just burp a ton after eating is all. i may not be producing as much bile or enzymes as i should.
Hi!
Can you update us on your GB issues. I just came across your video and I have gallstones
Hi!☺️honestly I haven’t had any more gb issues nor did I have it removed. I personally think what worked for me was those chanca piedra pills🤷🏻♀️and also not doing any more crazy diets, as I think that’s what caused the attacks in the first place for me was I used to do these three apple fasts where I would only eat apples for three days at a time every couple weeks.
@Peetieee
I appreciate you response!
Did you do an ultrasound recently? Do you know if you still have them?
@@haythamkhalaf9135 no I just stopped having attacks so haven’t worried about it honestly 🙆🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Love the way you explained it
thank you :)
Just got diagnosed with gallstones. Doctor recommended no surgery. Weight loss and low fat diet. It sucks..... Trying to naturally kick this
I thankfully have not had anymore attacks [knock on wood] and I think it was thanks to those chanca piedra supplements
You can do it 🥺I hated my life for a while Bc it was so awful and they feel like they last forever
I read so many things about different supplements and cleansing methods. Just all new to me.

Hey , I was diagnosed with gallstones last year. I don't have any gallbladder related pains or attacks just suffer from digestive issues such as constipation, indigestion, bloating etc. I don't know what should I do cause gallstones may hinder gallbladder functions which may lead to these digestive issues. Or if something could be done to improve these digestive issues.
Now , I am stuck at making a decision whether to go for surgery or not cause it's really haunt me to remove an organ from my body
I feel you. My mom had the GB removed and had 2 surgeries after that. I was diagnosed with stones too last week and the doctors want me to have surgery. They already put their calendar out and made an appointment. I was so overwhelmed. I am so scared of surgery and do not want to give away an organ which is still functioning in most ways. My mom used to have stones after her surgery too on the liver and gall pathways … so I think I have to unterstand The reason of gallstones… I am reading a lot about alternatives - one woman told me she did Anthony Williams diet and celery juice and dissolved the stones within a year. I am getting myself informed and try to eat as healthy as I can. How are you today?
I'm finally checking my RUclips notifications years later...what ended up happening with your situation?? Did you get your surgery?
@@Lifeofloops No, I haven't till now but still facing all the digestive issues. I think there is no option rather than to go for a surgery.

WHAT????????
Hi there,
I am also suffering with this funny stones nearly 2 years now. I also bit reluctant to remove my gold bladder. But when I get attacks it’s so painful and now I am in dilemma to under go a surgery or not. When I get attacks one doctor recommended me to use a 100mg suppository and it worked really well for me even though it’s not a very pleasant convenient solution. I am about to do a CT scan and a endoscopy. These stones are really disturbing my free eating habits and some times it’s really frustrating.
OMG please try those pills I mention first. They are the Chanca Piedra ones. I really think they help. I have not had an attack since a little after I posted this video (and to be honest I'm not even sure if it was an attack or not because my attacks start out as cramps so it could have been period cramps but I took a painkiller so it kicked it and I never knew if it was that or an attack). Anyways, it's been almost a year without me having an attack and I think it's due to those pills. I stopped taking the pills now since I have been fine. But when I would take them it was about one with every meal which wasn't bad. But really try them for a couple of months and see if they help at all. I would hate for you to remove it if it's fixable.
Thanks for the reply. I checked the herbal medicine that you have mentioned. It’s a well known herbal medicine and mainly used to treat liver diseases. It also has the ability to dissolve kidney stones as well. People here they drink it as a herbal tea to detoxicate their liver. Hear with I am sending the link of a video shows how she prepares it. Hope this will be another useful information for you and a different experience. It’s amazing to note that how ancient people knew these medicines are good for these diseases. (Video is with local language just see the video ignore language 😀)

So after 3 years what is the end result? Thanks.
Where is the location of your pain? Get well soon ♥
Hi :) My pain thankfully doesn't or I should say hasn't radiated to my back but it's usually right below my breast bone like that whole are- and thank you. Do you have attacks as well?
@@Lifeofloops my pain right side befour 8 manth
what's ur current status dear ? pls revert asap ..r u still with gallbladder and is it bothering u in anyway?
Hi, yes, I still have my GB, and I haven't had attacks anymore. They just stopped honestly.
How do you feel nowadays? What supplement are you taking? Thanks for reply!
Honestly, the only supplements I'm taking now are my probiotic and multi vitamin. I haven't taken the Chanca Piedra pills anymore since I haven't had attacks since around when I posted this video years ago (knock on wood)...I'm pretty much back to normal or as normal as I was/felt when prior to ever having attacks :)
Dealing with this now. Ha e a ultrasound Friday in my gallbladder
How is it going? :( I hate those attacks they really suck. But I really do think those supplements I tried helped out with mine, I took those for a couple months while also eating foods that weren't causing me attacks and I have been fine since. They are called Chanca Piedra and I got mine from Amazon
I couldn't hear the Walgreen nor shown the product and why to take it ???
Hi, not sure I understand about Walgreens?
I’ve been having attacks and like yours they go away and come back...last year before the pandemic was hard....they came back again this early March and once again stopped the hospital sent me for an evaluation and they scheduled my surgery for April 5th...I’m super nervous and scared 😭
try to go for a naturopathy first.. if you can change your diet, would be best.. you need your gall bladder.. see if those stones can still be dissolve over time by taking bile salts.. (research about it) before down under the knife
Are you buy any chance fasting or doing any crazy diets? I swear that is what caused me to start having issues with gallstones and attacks.
@@Lifeofloops has changing your diet to less fat and less junk food made a difference?
So how did it go??
Hi I just read all the valuable comments .
Thanks for informing. I had GB infection. Then later I diagnosed GS with 6mm . I been using ursdoxy cholic acid 300 mg twice a day. Dr said need to use up to 2 yrs. it’s been 1.5 yrs. still using. Need to use other 6 months. I had Scan last month. But no difference.
I came to know chance piedra is good herb for liver.
Pl let me know is there any option for better GB activity ( stoped eating fatts)
I would for sure ask your doctor about those Chanca Piedra pills and try those. I'm pretty darn sure that is what helped me and I haven't had attacks since little before this video.
I had ursdoxy cholic acid 300 mg. Twice a day. My one is 5mm. I did use 2 yrs medication. But no change of dissolve . Best thing I guess stop eating fatty food or minimise fatty foods
prolonged infection will cause gallstone hardening. It will make things progressively worse long run.
Hi ! I’m having GB attacks that are painful and they last for days !! I get them every month .. I’m in pain every day for a week then after that it’s like nothing happened it goes away.. I’m guessing my extreme weight loss fasting is what caused I went from 152 to 125 in 3 months I went to hospital cause I couldn’t take pain anymore.. found out I had gallstones .. I need that surgery because I can’t live with this pain anymore!!!
Okay I can't believe you are in pain for a week :O OMG. I could barely handle my 3 hour pain attacks! I'm sorry! I really do think it's due to extreme fasting. Are you getting surgery soon? You should try those Chanca Piedra pills I really think those are what helped me out, the only thing is if you do take those supplements you should try to prevent having attacks for like a couple months while they break up your stones or else I don't know if they will work that well. :(
I’m currently in the hospital. I just got my gallbladder removed! I’m so happy now I’m just praying for a speedy healthy recovery 🙏❤️
Please tell me the dosage of the Chanca Piedra you took. Is it 1600mg? Thanks
Hi :), I did buy the ones that were 1600 mg when I was taking them and I took 2 pills once a day for a few months.
you can't break down stones, it's impossible to
Same like what happen to me right now and doctor says I need a surgery to remove my galbladder. When I vomiting 🤮 it goes away.
There were times when I was having an attack and would intentionally vomit to make the pain go away. 👀but it only worked like twice and then after it wouldn’t work anymore and also I decided it’s too Bc it’s so bad for you 😭😭😭
hi.. liver cleanse needed 4 to 5 times.
see the livercleanse method epsom salt wala..
Buy the book The Amazing Liver Gallbladder Flush by Andreas Moritz.
I've done probably 20 flushes and gotten out well over a thousand stones, they also come out of your liver.
My fiance did her first and got out about 250 stone relieving her intense pain that lasted a week straight. I've watched countless testimonies and can say for a certainty that you are getting out actual stones, I know there's controversy starting that it's just the olive oil hardening or some other bs, it's not its stones. Now that I've cleared all my stones out when I do a flush I get non, so obviously the stones are not being formed from the flush. Long story short buy the book, keep your gallbladder!! God bless 🙏
Hey, thank you for sharing your experience. I have had 3 episodes of GB attacks and was recently diagnosed with Gall stones, i am also reluctant to get my GB removed. I see your video is an year old and wanted to know what’s your health update as it will be helpful for me to deal with this ugly situation. Looking forward for a reply as I honestly don’t know someone who didn’t get GB removed and tried to live with it
Hi☺️ okay as of when I posted this video I haven’t had any attacks since. There was one time in March when I thought I was having an attack and started feeling crampy but then I took a Tramadol pain pill and went to bed and the cramps stopped after a few minutes so I don’t think it was an actual attack. But honestly I’ve been eating kind of bad again in the sense of like I’m eating what I was eating before having issues with my gallbladder and have had no issues really. Hoping it continues this way. I did take supplements that I had researched and read good things about called “chanca piedra” that are supposed to break up your stones. So for a while I was trying to eat healthy and no fatty foods to avoid having attacks and at the same time taking those supplements to break up my stones and it must have worked because I haven’t had attacks for a good while now like a year I think. My plan if the supplements didn’t work was to try the gallbladder flush (don’t know if you’ve heard of it) but thankfully the supplements worked and I have been okay for now. I’m not taking the supplements anymore but have some in case I start having attacks again, and then if I do ever start having attacks again then I will probably try the same thing and eat good for a while while taking those supplements. 💁🏻♀️But I haven’t had surgery thank goodness 😃😃and am back to normal right now.
Also, have you had all episodes close together? Be careful because I think if you have so many close together it could irritate gallbladder and I had that happen once and I swear I got attacks at one point like every day for a week anytime I ate anything. Also, after thinking about it and stuff I have read from others I really think what caused my gallstones to get bigger or to give me issues was I was doing this diet fast for a few months like once every two weeks and I’ve read some people where they say after they did fasting of some sort or weird diets that they started having issues with gb attacks. 🙄I regret those diets I did but that was the only thing I remember really changing or modifying in my eating before I started having problems so I think it’s true and the reason I had issues to begin with. So I’m not doing crazy diets or fasts anymore🤦🏻♀️ there were a couple of things I was able to eat for sure that wouldn’t cause attacks so sometimes when I would be afraid of eating at all these were my go to meals, but they are super low calorie 🥴 The main one was the Campbells chicken soup with rice. That was like my go to when I would be afraid to eat that wouldn’t cause me attacks, then I tried Special k cereal the cinnamon one with almond milk and I was able to eat that too without attacks. Additionally I was able to eat like 3-4 saltine crackers with my soup or as a snack and it wouldn’t cause me attacks...I only did that many because I didn’t want to experiment with more and end up having an attack. Not sure if that helps 😭sorry you are going through this
@@Lifeofloops Hello, thank you so very much for taking out time to revert and sharing your experience. I am glad to know that you haven’t had those attacks in the past one year. Seems like a very good & positive sign to me. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the largest size of your stone/stones? And also did you get a USG done lately to be 100% sure that they have been dissolved by the supplements?
Well if I share my story, I was very overweight till April last year (96Kgs) and then during lockdown I understood the importance of a healthy lifestyle. So i started doing intermittent fasting from May to October last year and lost 16kgs of weight. (Happiest moment for me) 😁 However, when I started having dinner again in October, i started having that pain in abdomen/chest area (first episode was self resolved) without me realising whats happening. Then in Nov last year, i had pretty bad episode, wherein after having my dinner, i had severe pain and puked 🤮 alot & was rushed to emergency wherein they gave me Treamadol and I was relieved. Then i consulted my physician who advised a CECT abdomen which came out to be absolutely normal so as per him it was due to intermittent fasting thing that my body was not accepting food and he advised me some antacids that i took for couple of months and was absolutely fine. Now on Feb 12 I had a similar episode, wherein I was rushed to emergency again and they said it seems like you have gallstones (which couldn’t be identified in CECT that was done earlier) so they prescribed a USG full abdomen. After getting it done, came out the obvious, that I have multiple gall stones and the max one is sizing 4-5 mm. I have been a vegetarian throughout my 29 years of life, but I think my lifestyle (heavy alcohol intake, smoking habits, late night parties, late night office shifts) might have contributed towards it. Now I am too reluctant to get it removed as I feel life would never be the same again then (i.e my eating lifestyle) & thats what I am more concerned about 😞 . And yeah in my research I found out about GB flush and am thinking to try that. Also in Allopathy they say surgery is your only resort, but some research shows me that people who have undergone Homeopathic treatment have gotten rid of gall stones, so I am planning to opt for that to see if that helps. 🤞 😞
@@sam15chd You are very welcome! Honestly I will have to find my last hospital records to see what the sizes were per my last tests they did but that was a year ago. I haven't went to get an ultrasound to check that, as long as I don't have attacks I'm going to just see what happens which probably is not very responsible but if I start having attacks again in the future I will worry about it then D: hopefully that doesn't happen. Omg let me know how the flush works out because I am curious to know. I've seen some people document their flush experience on youtube but they are mostly old videos and I would like to know in case I ever have to do that what if it works.
@@Lifeofloops Sure, I will definitely let you know how it goes ☺️
What brand of chonka piedra are you using?
Hi :) the ones I really liked are from "NaturalisimoLife" and I got mine from Amazon. I tried the others before that but they were capsules and one of the pills one day I noticed was bruised and sharp and it freaked me out so stopped taking capsules.
Plz tell supplement
hello beautiful
I am suffering from same problem and after using high dose of medicines for last 20 days i am going to do a surgery on Wednesday as recommended by doctors … but I don't want to do a surgery as my age is 24 and i am nervous about it whether it will fine or not in future.
😭😭I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you are perfect afterwards and are one of the people who get it out and have no problems after
Do you still eat fried chicken or fries? I can't quit french fries. Sight~~ Do you take any supplements?
Hi there, honestly I stopped having attacks, and I usually eat anything I want, and yeah that includes fries and processed/fast food, not al the time, but whenever the mood strikes. I am not taking supplements at the moment, though I'm going to start taking a multivitamin and probiotic soon. I've just been lazy and need to buy them and find my pill organizer lol🥲
What are your attacks like and how long have you been suffering with those annoying jerks? 😞
You should search up Chanca Piedra and read peoples results with that. Those are the supplements that I was taking when I was suffering my attacks and I think they maybe broke my stones down to where they don't cause issues since I don't have attacks anymore. But maybe do your own research.
Anyone taking NAC?
hi how are you now? hows your experience drinking chanka piedra ?
Hi, I'm great! Luckily I haven't had any GB attacks in over a year. (knock on wood). I really think when i was hardcore fasting for weightloss it triggered the start of my GB attacks so now that I have not had issues I refuse to ever fast like that again. I was taking the Chanca Piedra supplements for a few months every day while avoiding foods that caused me attacks and I really think they helped me because I stopped having attacks and haven't had any for a year. Are you having issues with your GB? :(
