Have thought for a long time that my many troubles stem from my liver; I had a CT scan 2 weeks ago and get the results on Monday.
Since July last year I have had pancreas pain - which the docs try to dismiss as muscular because I am not writhing around on the floor -yet.
October last year began having liver pain - castor oil packs seemed to help, and eating a restricted diet. Liver pain had more or less gone until this week and it is creeping back in.
February this year started to have gallbladder pain - again, disbelief from docs. I have had to go privately to get the CT scan, referred by a private doctor.
The pain in my gallbladder and pancreas is getting worse each time I get it -yet a few weeks ago I seemed to have it under control and felt better than I had in ages. Energy increased, mood was my old cheeky self - yippee - and I began to feel that I had a future and would actually see my children grow up. I felt so much better I ate and drank more - even had the occasional tiny glass of alcohol and caffeine from time to time.
However, I think I must have relaxed my dietary controls too much and am now getting my just desserts. I was controlling it by using hydrochloric acid with meals - I had a test showing hypochlorida, hence using the acid to supplement. Was also using pancreatic enzymes, digestive enzymes, and ox bile.
Have tried milk thistle in the past but reacted badly to it. Seem to tolerate chanca piedra but think it best not to use too much/often as I have read that herbs can damage the liver - just as Oil of Oregano did in my case.
Anybody tried anything with success that I haven't mentioned? I am restricting diet again - no gluten, sugar, dairy(had sheep yoghurt yesterday and got the worst gb pain ever yet I ate some on Monday no problem; so that's the end of that for now.
I do coffee enemas from time to time but find that they deplete my potassium . have read that pancreatitis often leads to low potassium too ....
If anybody has had good results with particular enzymes it would be useful to hear which ones.
Also pondering the big probiotic question - have tried Saccharamyces Boulardii as have candida , too, according to a stool test in October.
Yet again I am considering the liver flush .....
Any thoughts appreciated.
