Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I DID have my gall bladder removed. But, before going raw i ate a pretty high-fat diet and didn't have this problem. Is it the combo of healthy eating and then straight oil maybe? I will cut out the flax seed oil and get some flax seeds instead. I need to get a coffee grinder too because i tried using a mortar and pestle (if that's the word even) to grind it once and it didn't work. Thanks for the tip. I'll eat just the greens and see how it goes. I also noticed that BAD feeling in the back of my throat and a pain in my side (like very mild gall bladder complications -- but without the gall bladder). I'll let you know how it goes ) peace nikki http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=barefootnikki Hi Nikki, have you by any chance had your gal bladder removed?
