Hi! New here..... having a liver (?) problem. Yikes!

Hi All,

 

Glad to find this list...have a question for you.

 

A brief history...mercury toxicity discovered 7 years ago, (no

worries, all fillings removed, some chelation done). I need more

supplements than most people but have gotten to a point where I feel

fairly normal now and probably healthier than many people. I've have

had evvvvvery symptom in the book (almost all of them gone now) and

have learned a lot about my own body and symptoms and medicine in

general. (I am a bit underweight, 38, and I eat well.)

 

But...never ever had back pain. I did a gall bladder/liver flush

last week, because I was having neck pain (no back pain) after eating

a high-fat meal, which I never had before, and true to form, I had

exactly the opposite reaction to the flush that they predict. Stools

got firmer, nothing funky or green or stonelike was flushed out. No

nausea, no pain, oil and lemon was a little icky but went down fine.

Lost my bile production for about 48 hrs afterward, then it returned,

and been ok for about a week now. On Friday though, after eating a

turkey/avocado sandwich I got lower right back pain (my right, on the

liver side) and I'd had a lot of kidney stones when I was really sick

(none for about 6 years now, needed magnesium and iron) so I worried

for a second it was that, but tapped on my kidney and no pain in the

kidneys. But it's a similar pain and it hurts only on that side and

hurts a bit worse when I stand on my right leg (stones didn't act

that way on my body). I came home and took a nap and when I woke up

a few hrs later, it was gone. Tonight, ate normally, was just fine,

then had one little wedge of smoked cheese for " dessert " , even though

I was no longer really hungry...I know wrong...wrong...but it was

tiny, just for flavor... (I allow myself one tiny sliver of cheese a

day, so I'm not a big dairy eater) and within minutes, that pain came

back. It's been 40 minutes and it's a bit better, I'm still sitting

sideways though. Very slight neck pain/ache, but not much...nothing

like the back pain.

 

I did a flush 6 years ago and there weren't any stones from that

flush either. Is it possible that the flush and the two days of

fasting (only apple juice) stressed out my liver, or caused it to

turn down it's function and it will just take a little time for it

get back up to speed? Not having any more evidence of low bile-

production. I'd have pale stools if this was a gall-bladder attack

wouldn't I? I did get a severe case of sciatic pain for 4 days from

the fasting too, which started on day two of the fasting -- yowz...no

fun....

 

I'd be very grateful for any input about this. I am taking Xiao Yao

Wan, which really does wonders, my body really needs it and I take it

daily. I can get my fingers under my rib cage so my liver isn't

swollen. Is there any chance this is related to some kind of liver

disease or cancer? Or could too much Vitamin A cause this kind of

pain? Since it happens after high fat meals (not meals that have

been high in A), I really think it's about fats. Also taking kidney

and spleen herbs. Herbs were a very important part of my recovery.

 

If this is a stone thing...what would you recommend? Anyone heard of

Gold Coin Grass? Supposed to dissolve stones slowly?

 

Thanks so much...
