Gallbladders and Children

[Crankin]

+1 to Tokie's advice. One of my kids had gastro issues at birth and we went directly to a pediatric gastroenterologist.
No offense to anyone, but "cleanses" haven't exactly been found to cure gall bladder disease. The dietary things do work, but i can't imagine it's good for a child to have a no-fat diet. I am not surgery happy, but I have known several people who have had the lap. procedure, and they were up and about in just a couple of days. It sure would be awful to be a kid with constant stomach pain and I would think this deserves a permanent solution.

I wasn't gonna mention this because you said she didn't have gallstones, but a homeopathic way to get rid of gallstone is to eat all the raw asparagus and drink all the coke classic (coke classic only - no substitutes!) that you can in 2 hours. I know a couple of people that did this and never had a problem again. Of course, I didn't find this out until after I had my gall bladder out

It took me about a week to recover from the surgery. The worst part was the bloated tummy from the air they pump in there for the surgery. It's been a year since the surgery and I can still clearly see 3 of the 4 scars they gave me from the laproscopic surgery. The biggest is a 1 inch horizontal scar just below my sturnum. The other 2 are 1/4" and are on the right side of my stomach.

Unfortunately, I can easily eat anything now Two of my sisters have had there's out and they have discomfort if they eat high fat meals. I'm thinking for me, that would have been a good thing, lol.

Best of luck!
