  Can anyone tell me if it is safe to do the liver cleanse AFTER the
  gallbladder has been removed? My grandmother had to have her
  gallbladder removed in November 2001. I say she HAD to because by the
  time it was removed, gangrene had set up in it. Horrible! She was
  doing fine until Christmas Eve when she began having severe pains
  again. She was admitted to the hospital for a week during which time
  she became jaundice. An ERCP was done during which the doctor found
  some inflamation in the duct leading to the liver. An incision was
  made in the duct to relieve the swelling and the jaundice is
  gradually going away - the pain immediately went away. The doctors
  still can not tell us if there are any stones in there or not. I’m
  beginning to think the doctors don’t know any more than the patients!
  I’m thinking that a liver cleanse would get rid of any stones in
  there.
  Any advice would be appreciated!!!

  She just needs to wait till everything inside is completely healed if
  she’s had recent surgery.
  I wanted to do a cleanse afterwards but I was so sick from my surgery
  that I was told not to for a long time. It’s been 15 months now and
  I’m finally to the point that I can get the go ahead to do one. Long
  story.
  I personally think most the Dr’s in my area are just not very good
  cause I haven’t found one person near me that is happy with the
  results of their surgery and fill like it took care of the problem.
  In fact I found out my cousin had hers taken out and they found that
  it was perfectly healthy. All the Dr. could say was “I guess that
  wasn’t the problem” she didn’t think it was and when she first
  started complaining they tried to put her on an anti depressant. She
  finally found a decent Dr out of state that was able to do the right
  surgery. Turned out her uterus was turning into a sponge.
  
  So if I seem a little upset with the medical profession It’s because
  in my state most of them don’t seem to know what they’re doing. It’s
  like they got their degree out of a cracker box.
  My Chiropractor knows more about the body, nutrition and health than
  these guys.
  I found it really interesting that when I go to my Chiro’s office
  they are snacking on dried fruit, nuts, water and when I had to
  return several times to the Galbladder specialist and walk through
  the office they had fries, burgers and pop. He’s also a specialist in
  the removal of the colon. Gee I wonder why?
  Just find that really interesting. One says I can eat anything even
  junk food and the other says that if I want to stay healthy than I
  need to make sure I’m eating healthy. You can guess who cares more
  about me.
  Also the galbladder specialist turned me away after 5 weeks. I woke
  up in pain in my liver area from the surgery and they wouldn’t
  acknowledge it. Finally told me it had nothing to do with surgery and
  that I needed to find another DR.
  It’s suspected that he nicked my liver or cracked a rib from the pain
  I was in and taking 6 weeks to heal. (I’ve been talking to lots of
  people since than and found others with the same experience)
  Okay sorry to go on. I just get so burned hearing stories like my
  cousin and that is so common in my area

  I’ve often wondered about this, too. The surgeon that I met with also said
  that after surgery I would be able to eat anything I wanted. Why on earth
  would ANY doctor even suggest this? This is the same guy, though, who asked
  what I had eaten before my biggest attack. When I told him it was a chicken
  cheesesteak he asked me if it was good and then asked me where I got it and
  said that he’s always interested to hear new places to go. Hello? He
  knows this was the food that triggered major pain for me and he wants to know
  where to get some?
  I have a great deal of respect for the medical profession and I’m not one of
  those who would just bash them altogether. I think there are many good
  doctors out there who truly care. There are some though, who just don’t seem
  to think about what they are saying. And telling a patient that he/she will
  be able to eat fatty foods again after surgery is just plain nuts! That
  
  consultation with the surgeon happened before I knew what I’ve learned since
  then and I wish I could go back and tell him what I think. The important
  thing, though, is that he is definitely not getting my gallbladder! Rachel

  Hi
  I’m glad I was able to provide a needed laugh. Forgive me if you’ve
  already shared this, but what type of cleanse are you doing? You mentioned
  you are on the 3rd morning. Whatever you are doing, I wish you the best
  with it.
  in health,
  Rachel

  I have read that you could eat fatty foods if only it is in
  moderation. Moderation is always the key word. I have read that you
  could eat 20% of fatty foods but not the 75% that us lazy eaters were
  used to in our past lives. Whereas a great balanced diet is the goal,
  we still need essential fats in our system to some degree.
  The GB really does work properly when it is excreting bile in the
  proper preportions. Some of us are not going to become true
  vegitarians and I think that eating all foods is exceptable if it is
  in the proper lower percentage, moderated, dieted amounts.
  Just my thoughts.
  Barry.

  I agree, Barry. As they say, all things in moderation, including
  moderation. Rachel

  were used to in our past lives.
  I was raised by parents that took eating healthy really seriously. We
  hand not added fat or salt to our diets. Raised on whole wheat and
  honey non of that refined crap. So I know I wasn’t eating 75% fat
  before I had my problems. I was a very big meal skipper and prefered
  to not eat for days. Was told that is what caused most my problems.
  I totally think that balance is the key but also know there is a
  difference in what some think is a balanced/healthy diet. For some
  Wendy’s is healthy and to others total organic.
  I’ve just noticed that the medical Dr.s I’ve encounter have no
  problem with people eating fast foods as there daily intack where as
  the alternative health Dr’s prefer you to eat much more natural
  things.

  also said
  wanted. Why on earth
  the same guy, though, who asked what I had eaten before my biggest
  attack. When I told him it was a chicken cheesesteak he asked me if
  it was good and then asked me where I got it and
  If it was my Chiropractor he would have Harassed me and asked why I
  ate that.
  My Surgeon was actually surprised at what I ate (my rice and stir fry
  with a little good oil and homemade no fat sweet and sour sauce.
  He said usually it’s the Mexican dinners that does it. I knew it was
  the sweet and sour sauce cause for some reason the red wine vinager
  does that to me.
  It’s been about 15 months since that night and the surgery and I
  still haven’t had that meal. It was a pretty horrid attack.

  I’m starting to think it has something to do with Dr.s here in the
  midwest. In my state alone if a women even tells her Dr. she’s tired
  he automatically prescribes prozac or another antidepressant. It’s
  pretty sad. I have Aunt’s that work for Dr’s one is a nurse and they
  said they see medical mishaps all the time here.
  Thing is with my cousin, from what she discribed it didn’t even sound
  like gallbladder problems to me. More like female problems.
  That’s probably why I get so frustrated with Dr’s out here.

  Thanks for your story. Unfortunately it’s not the first one I’ve
  heard like that. What area are you referring to?
