Liver detox and bloating

So, today was pretty rough. Not sure if it's because I got dehydrated yesterday, too much work, or the lack of milk thistle. Or the progesterone cream that's not agreeing with me, which I stopped yesterday. The pain/pressure under my ribcage on the right is back, so is general nausea, the "dry" feeling in my stomach and a feeling of constipation without actually being constipated.

When I stop to rest, I feel pretty awful. It's not that noticeable when I'm doing stuff.

No prob! I know things are really busy now.

I picked up some milk thistle today, and I think it's working.

I think I have your liver/gallbladder flush recipe somewhere. Do you think orange/strawberry/banana juice would work? It's what I have on hand.

Can I make up several days worth, keep it in the fridge and use as needed?

So, I made up a bunch of the liver/galbladder cleanse conconction. And I felt better after taking it. Now, a couple hours later...I feel pretty bad. Getting through breakfast was pretty difficult, but I did it. Now very bloated, that same strange 'dry' sensation, and some pretty awful head pressure. The 'liver' pain is better, though. I'm kinda thinking I've set off a bit of a herx. Yay!

S - Hope you feeling better today and Traveler, where can I find your liver/ gallbladder flush recipe? I hope you are feeling better too!!

Thank you both for the well wishes!! Personally, I'm doing pretty well! I was able to weedeat the front yard for about 1.5 hours this morning!!

I even got my notes out so I get it right!! LOL!

In the morning, at least 1/2 hour before any food:
Combine
1 cup fresh orange juice or a combination of orange and grapefruit with a bit of lemon or lime juice added in (2 tsps or so)

1 to 2 cloves of garlic

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Added fresh squeezed ginger juice is helpful, but not necessary (but I always added it in).

Drink down quickly - the garlic ruins the juice LOL! But it's highly effective for me.

Do this for 10 days straight - then take a 3 day break and do another round of 10 days, or until you have plenty of bile in your stools (they will be very dark green).

My remark to my doc when I was using this for the first time was it looked like one of the cows from across the street had come over and used the toilet!! LOL! Sorry for the visual!

And yes, you do get used to the taste! I usually do this at least twice a year, but will be doing it again as soon as I go grocery shopping next week.

Traveler, forgot to ask, does one continue taking ones supplements etc during these days of flushing? Thanks, in advance.

Thanks, Traveler- You Rock!!

I just came across this thread and wanted to say thanks to Traveler for sharing your flush! I recently did my third flush with epsom salts and olive oil + grapefruit juice. During the last two flushes, I vomited the oil and juice roughly four hours after taking it. I've read that vomiting can happen when your liver is really backed up. I think I need to try cleansing mine a little more gradually, and this sounds like just a great alternative!

Thanks for sharing Trav!

I am not sure I need a liver/gall bladder cleanse, but I was told I have gall stones. If I do this can it do any harm if I don't need it? Or could it send me into a gallbladder attack, Lol! I just wouldn't be thrilled about that!
