I had this prioblem once and was determined to never let it happen
again. Here
is what I recommend:
Background:
Stuck stones cause bile to back up in the bloodstream, this causes
bile to be
excreted by urine. Urine turns dark brown or dark yellow.
If you notice a change in urine color, test the urine. If Bilibrium
levels are
above zero then do a flush to unstick the stone and take epson salts.
___
I use the Chemstick 10 urine strips I bought on the web. They test
for 10
different things including bilibrium.
___
If you are paranoid, you could test daily. Cause it might take a few
days for a
stuck stone to cause the levels to change in the urine.
___
It has worked for me. Anyone see a fault in this?

NOrmally there shouldbe no bilibrum in the urine. If there is any present
the strip reads the relative ammount as +, ++, or +++ . The only cause I
know of for a positive reading is a stuck stone. Since stuck stones can be
silent and go unnoticed if they make it into the duct. It is a good idea to
know its stuck.
Mine was stuck for 2 months with no pain, I just ignored the dark urine.
Eventually it was discovered in a routine urine test, just before I was about
to contract pancreatitus.
I was lucky. A stuck stone can go undetected for months, this is just a way
to know if it stuck before you get real sick.
Mr Dr. recommended the strips. They are about 70 bucks for 100 strips. But
if you use one very 3 days it will last almost a year. It could save you a
lot of pain and unexpected hospital visits. It’s worth it to me.
