Gallbladder Issues...

Man I am frustrated.. Right after Zack was born I was in the hospital for Gallbladder issues.. The wanted to rip it out. This was from the same hospital that misdiagnosed a KIDNEY STONE for a year.

Yep one, well I guess huge kidney stone. I was hospitalized over and over for it. They did a laporoscopy one time and took out my appendix even thought the doctor said it was healthy and pink.. I remember the day the doctor found out that it was a kidney stone. He said 'huh, you have the same calcification that you did this time last year... It can't be a kidney stone though because you wouldn't be able to handle the pain.' Luckily a doctor that had 1/2 a brain came in and started chewing out my doctor saying that it was a kidney stone that I had to have surgery. The nurse after I had it removed said that that was the biggest one she has ever seen!! SO was I going to let these people take my Gallbladder too? Yeah I don't freaking think so...

I did however find out what a gallbladder was and what its function is... It breaks down fats etc. The more fats you eat the more pain I will be in etc. Of course I had gallbladder issues!! I actually listened when they said margerine was better than butter etc etc.. I LOVE BUTTER! But of course I listened to what the scientists were saying at the time about how butter was unhealthy. So I cooked with like a stick or so of MARGERINE all the time! I also loved 'bar food' anything fried up and greasy!! I used vegetable oil. It sounds healthy right?? :)

I remember what my answer was when the doc asked me what I had for breakfast. I had my gall bladder pain @ noon.. So I tell him, embarressed I mean I was 25 years old at the time 'Half a 1/2 gallon of double fudge brownie ice cream and pepsi.' So he says to me 'Do you know what a gallbladder is and why we have one?' hahaha...

Well I change around my diet. I read 'Natural cures they don't want you to know about' and 'The makers diet'. Both great books!! I learned so much and especially after the first book things started to make much more sense..

I moved to Idaho and was doing really good and then had another bought real bad. I ended up in the hospital, and they told me that I needed surgery real bad. Something about the bile going into the liver? I don't remember too much because the thing that stuck out in my mind was the fact that they made it sound like I was going to die with out surgery etc etc and then the nurse comes back and asks me what insurance I had. At that time I didn't have any and when I told the nurse that she said 'I will be right back' A few minutes later she came back with discharge papers and told me that because I didn't have insurance that I would have to call the hospital social worker to try to figure out a way to pay for the surgery that I so seperately needed. THANK YOU KOOTENAI MEDICAL CENTER IN COEUR D ALENE IDAHO! :) The surgery was $15,000 so yeah um that didn't happen. But they way they were talking I should be dead by now!

Anyway I went 3 1/2 years and now it is back.. :( I have been relaxed in my diet, at heart I am a junk food addict. Now I eat it and feel awful in more ones than one....
Upon looking into it I see the reason I am having issues.. I have never really cared for meat or its products but lately have been eating suff with hamburger, roasts, etc.

I did some reading this morning.. Cholesterol=gallstones, animal products=cholesterol. So now I have to get my gallbladder checked out to make sure everything is ok with it and my pancreas (scary) and obvously need to cut out more from my diet....
