  Well I am 12 weeks pregnant, and cannot do a flush. I have been eating
  really healthy and have not had any minor attacks in 3 weeks, and I was
  having manageable ones since I’ve been pregnant. Yesterday I had 2 BAD
  ones. The first bad ones I’ve had in over a year.
  I called my OB last night hoping that I could get him to call in an
  ultrasound for me. Nope. He only wants to refer me to a surgeon. Of
  course the surgeon will most likely say remove it. I could go to the ER and
  they would give me an ultrasound through the radiology dept, but I have a
  very needy baby at home that I cannot leave. I cannot go to the ER for
  hours while I wait for their routine bloodwork and all the stuff they do
  that I don’t need. So it looks like I’ll be going to a surgeon, mainly just
  because I want the ultrasound to be sure that it’s not infected or
  anything. Some times I feel like I don’t want this pain any more I should
  just have it removed, then I worry that it would work against my body. I’ve
  heard people cannot digest foods afterwards very well. I really want to
  
  keep every organ I have, but geez this pain.
  I have a question about Ginger. I’ve read you should not eat ginger if you
  have gallstones that it increases bile flow??? I took a vitamin yesterday,
  really good vitamins Rainbow Light prenatals. BUT it has ginger juice in
  it. Then of course I had the attacks. Do you think the ginger could hve
  caused the attacks??? I cannot imagine that it would, but my books do say
  not to take ginger. Increased bile flow? I thought that might be good, or
  would that only push a stone into the duct?
  Oh my gb aches today, this is so hard to deal with.
  Blessings,
  Traci
