Not sure I would try to do that. I had my gall bladder removed 8 years ago after a week in hospital suffering from acute pancreatitis. Prior to that I had been diagnosed about 7 months previously. I searched the internet over to try and find something so I could avoid surgery and looked into 'flushing' them out. I personally did not attempt to because I think if you flush them out of the gallbladder, somewhere along their journey out of your body, they may get 'stuck' and create further problems. I barely ate due to the pain and sometimes drinking kicked it off as well. The weight just fell off me and I was constantly back and forth to A&E, adamant that I did not want the surgery. In January 2009, I woke up after a few hours sleep due to pain and I was yellow. All over, whites of my eyes, everything. The pain was excruciating and my husband rushed me to the hospital. I was admitted and told I had a stone stuck in my bile duct and it had caused acute pancreatitis. What I am trying to get at is this: If you know you have gallstones, get your gallbladder and the 'monsters' taken out. I have had 3 children and would rather have had the pain of having 3 more than gallstone pain. Those stones are going nowhere (except to block ducts) and my advice to anyone is to get them shifted as soon as possible before they do damage to other parts of your body.
