5 Things You Need to Know About Gall Bladder Flush

1. Flush the Folly

Your gall bladder is a pear-shaped organ that hangs between the lobes of your liver. The gall bladder stores excess bile, an enzyme that's important for digesting fats in your body. Gallstones develop when this bile combines with cholesterol, which is why you may experience a painful gall bladder attack after eating a typical American diet of greasy and fatty foods. A gall bladder flush may prevent you from undergoing surgery to remove your gall bladder.

2. Make Time for the Flush

Do a gall bladder flush over a weekend or some other period when you can take time to rest. Put aside at least two days for the flush to do its work and for the gallstones to pass from your body. During this time, focus on relaxing and taking care of your body. If you're patient and let the process play out, you should feel like new at the finish.

3. Gear Up Your Gall Bladder

Prep your gall bladder for a flush with a 7-day plan. Drink all the apple juice you can from Monday until Saturday. About 3 hours after your Saturday lunch, dissolve 2 tsp. of Epsom salts in a small glass of hot water and drink it. Then drink a glass of grapefruit juice. Repeat this combination 2 hours later.

4. Follow a Recipe for Relief

Gallstones may be dissolved by drinking a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil. Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons. Mix the lemon juice with 1.5 to 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil. Take 2 tbsp. of this mixture every 2 hours until you have finished it all. Start around 7:30 in the evening on Friday. Go to bed and plan to rest all day Saturday. Throughout that day, the flush will get you up and running to the bathroom to flush away your gall bladder problems.

5. Roll the Stones Away

Doing a gall bladder flush usually gets gallstones rolling out of your body the day after you drink the lemon juice and olive oil mixture. Your bowel movements may contain gallstones of varying sizes. Some may be the size of kiwi fruit or grape seeds. Others may be a bit smaller than a cherry. They are usually green. These gallstones are actually cholesterol stones.
