Gallstones are hard materials that form in the biliary tract, usually in the gallbladder. Their development is slow and may not be felt for decades. Gallstones are formed because certain substances in bile are present in concentrations that approach the limits of solubility. When there is so much of bile and the material becomes supersaturated or the material cannot be dissolved, the materials of bile form crystals which in time become stone. In the US, more than 80% of stones come from cholesterol.
When stones become large enough, then symptoms appear, usually pain in the right upper abdomen with occasional gas, burping or diarrhea. Pain from gall stones is usually sharp and on/off and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If the stones are large and more than the size of the gallbladder duct or tube, the patient has to be operated. Patients with this condition are usually people who have high consumption of meat and animal fat. It is therefore important to pay attention to persistently high blood cholesterol and have it controlled or brought down by diet and maybe by cholesterol lowering drugs. Herbal plants that can help reduce cholesterol are soy bean derived food, banaba tea or in combination with green tea; also fruits rich in vitamin C.
If stones are small enough to pass through the common bile duct, consider gall bladder flush.

Hello, recently I had an ultrasound in my gall bladder,a single mobile calculus was seen and also some mild tenderness in that region. Three well defined anechonic structures are seen as well within the liver. My I ask what’s the best herbal medicine to take to flush down the gallstone as well as to clear the cysts I have in my liver. Thanks
From Doc Emil: for your gall bladder flush click this link in this herbal blog:Â http://www.gonatural.com.ph/blog/?p=14
If you have cysts in the liver, you must have this managed medically not herbal products since hepatic cysts are usually parasitic infections. Please check with your doctor.

hi doc!
i got 3.0cm last feb. 2008 and i took the apple juice diet. i’ve flushed out many green stones. i thought i was cured but i felt pain on my upper right abdomen once again. i repeated the procedure last march and many green stones flushed out again. i have my ultrasound last week and to my surprised i still have 1.8cm. my question is this, can i repeat the apple juice diet once more? my doctor said take rowachol tablet 3x a day together with the apple juice diet. is it necessary to combine the two? thank you very much.

Good morning Doc Emil,
How would I know if I need to do “Liver Flush”?
Perhaps better question would be, how would I know if i have gallstone and need to do a “Liver Flush”? Is there any symptom that gallstones are present in my internal system?
Thank you,
G.M.
———————————-
From Doc Emil: Liver flush or gall bladder flush is one of the practices for natural detoxification. People who do not have gall bladder disease can do liver flush because our body naturally accumulates toxins.
Symptoms of gall bladder disease or stone will generally give pain on the upper right abdomen, feeling of bloating, frequent gassy feeling -these are felt especially after eating a fatty meal. Only an ultrasound or a GI-GB x-ray with contrast will be definitive of the diagnosis.

Doc Emil,
hi doc,i am very interested about this topic because me too..is suffering into this problem.i was diagnosed of having a gallbladder polyp
What is the best thing i can do to remove that polyp on my gallbladder
———————————–
From Doc Emil: If the gallbladder polyp is small, surgeons prefer not do anything; if it large, the surgeon will advise removal. Only surgery can be done for gall bladder polyps. Your diet must be adjusted to low fat diet so that your digestion will not “strain” your gallbladder.

I recently found out I have gallstones the largest is 1.2 cm. I have been drinking unfiltered, unsweetened organic apple juice for 3 weeks as I read the maltic acid helps to soften them. I plan next week to do a flush using olive oil/fresh squeezed lemons and also drinking epson salt/water. Has anyone had success with this and is 1.2 cm worth trying to flush or is surgery my only option? I think I got my stones from losing 62 lbs on Weight watchers, stupidly I had taken my fat intake down very low
Thanks for your answer…
Misty
From Doc Aligui: 1.2 cm CAN STILL BE FLUSHED, ALTHOUGH NOT ALL THE TIME
January 21st, 2009 at 9:03 pm
hi, i have had a sonogram of the upper abdomen and a cat scan to be told i have a 1.2 cm gallstone. when you drink the unfiltered organic apple juice, do you also eat foods? i am a bit confused about the apple juice flush. or do i drink just the apple juice for days. i also have been eating like 5 apples per day.
i want to avoid surgery at all costs, so i am willing to ry the flush,
but is the 1.2 cm gallstone too big to pass? it is important to me to find out before i do anything.
thanks so much for your time

my husband used to have a gallstones. He tried epsom salt & apple therapy
before. He flushed out green stones during the therapy. But last year we came up to the decision of having surgery.He’s gallbladder was removed. Up to now he’s taking up epsom and apple therapy as maintenance and maybe to prevent the coming back of the gallstones.

hi doc, i sent comment thru your site re flushing. i plan to wait for the response but as i read all the comment and with the assurance of my doctor i go on with the procedure. last 31 May i started to eat 5 apples a day,on the 6th day (05 Jun)epsom salt and the virgin coconut oil(with calamansi). i was excited to see the result that i cant hardly go to sleep.as early as 4a.m.(06 Jun)the “flushing” began. on the 6th time, i felt pain on my stomach so i “flush” again. to my surprise it was clear(the 5 times were brownish in color)with “greenish stones”.it was more than 10. the 7th time(last of the flushing)it was almost clear with “green stones” again.thank you doc, for this site youre helping a lot of people. my doctor told me to give testimonies on this matter(in the hospital where she is working).again thank you very much and God Bless You and Your Family.
From Dr. Aligui:
Thank you. Keep in mind that gallstones are recurrent and you might need to flush 1-2x a year to prevent it. It is also a form of detoxification.
June 23rd, 2010 at 2:27 am
hi doc, ask ko lng po kung pde pa ba madisolve ang polyps sa gallbladder? lumabas kc sa ultrasound ko na may 5.2mm cholesterol polyps sa gallbladder ko.
From Dr. Aligui: Di na didisolve ang gall bladder polyps. Walang cholesterol polyps sa gall bladder, baka cholesterol stones yan. Verify mo muna sa doctor kung ano ang tamang result ng ultrasound.
December 4th, 2010 at 9:26 am
Hi doc. nagtry po aq magflushing simula nung Nov. 26. On my 6th day sinunod ko din process. the ffg morning ng magCR ako tubig lang lumabas color brown to green. then at 4pm in the afternoon nag cr aq ulit, kulay green na stool ko in solid form. wala naman ako nakita na stones. Pero sa ultrasound ko meron ako 1.4 and .9 na gallstones.
Ano kaya ngyari? Nawala na ba gallstone ko? During pala ng treatment umiinom din ako ng gamot na rowachol. ano po opinyon mo? salamat.
———–
You can still continue with Rowachol. Not all stones can be flushed in 1 try. Repeat ultrasound after 3 months and you can flush again 1 week before the repeat ultrasound.
July 24th, 2011 at 5:50 am
Hi doc, i have a multiple gallstones according to my ultrasound, i tried to 5 days apple and on the six day drink water w/ epsom salt n fresh lemon juice w/ olive oil i flush on the nxt day but i did not see any stones then after a days past i always experience the pain in the upper right abdomen. why i always feel that symptoms? can i still try again the apple juice?
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:19 am
hello doc, i’ve been diagnosed with gall bladder stone. The first doctor told me to have the operation and we try to ask the size of my gall stone he just said it does’nt matter what the size of the stone they just need to take my gallbladder out but we refused trying to take for 2nd opinion. Ive tried the gallbladder flushing as recomended by my mom who has been diagnosed a year ago to have a gallbladder stone also. As i try the flushing, i’ve seen green color in my stool pero parang durog durog po lumabas. And after flushing for the first time, i always experience a bit pain sa upper right of my abdomen pero tolerable naman po, is it normal po ba? Can i try po ba uli ung flushing after a month or atleast 2 months? Im still taking Rowachol for 1 month as my 2nd doctor adviced me. And im now trying to have a vegan diet. Is it ok po ba doc? Thank you doc and hoping to hear from you. God bless us all.

It is not advisable to do gallbladder flush if there is pain located in the liver area, the stones might get stuck. Check with your doctor to find out the approximate size of the gallstone.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
Hi doc,would like to ask my husband is at the hospital now due to gallbladder attack.as the doc explained there are stones 1.4cm,1.2 and 1 cm that blocked in the neck of the billiary duct. he is in pain now and naka dextrose with antibiotic. can he stil do the flushing pra mawala ung nakabara na stones?appreciate your immediate response. Thanks

Hi Dr. Aligui. After experiencing the symptoms, I went to the hospital and was diagnosed of having 3gallstones (1.2cm / 1.1cm and .99cm). I am seriously considering gallbladder flush, however you mentioned that the stones should be small enough to pass through the bile duct. My questions are:
1) Is 1.2cm small enough?
2) When the flushing starts (as in there is already bowel movement), is it normal to experience stomach pain (like what the others in this blog are sharing)? Or is it possible that the gallbladder is already inflamed and is already posing real threat?
3) Also, when the stones do get out of the gallbladder, will there be no possible threat of Jaundice?
Would really appreciate your reply.
Thank you very much.

Usually the size would be less than 1cm. If you experience pain due the gallstones (please have yourself examined by a Gastroenterologist), I don’t think you should do gallbladder flush.

gudmorning doc.i have also a gallbladder polyps..told my doctor that the only option to remove my polyps is operational but scared.. so i suffer the pain in the whole year..pls advice how to remove my polyps..
——–
In most cases, the polyps do not need to be operated. I would advise you to get a second opinion -to check if an operation is really needed.
