I have read on many occasions that one should not take Curcumin (turmeric) if they have gall stones. So I chose not to take it when recommended to me by my LLMD at the time as I had an earlier ultrasound done of my upper right quadrant that showed unremarkable gall stones. He did not push it. I am now in the care of another LLMD who included Curcumin in my initial protocol and when I told him my concerns, he had never heard that, so he looked it up. He said and read to me that it can help your gall bladder. So after years of chronic pain I decided I would give it a try. (FYI, I had another ultrasound done last spring and nothing had changed). Well, now I am starting to have tenderness in that area so I re-researched on my own to find that turmeric can be beneficial preventing gallstone formation however when gall stones are present one should not take turmeric. I am so confused. I have stopped it and the pain has increased. I am not suffering from gall stone pain, but the tenderness is concerning. I am thinking about asking him to order another unltrasound to see if anything has changed since starting the Curcumin 4 months ago before adding it back in. Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Unfortunately, I can't answer your question about curcumin, but as for gallbladder stones, I did, before I knew I had lyme, the crazy dr Hulda Clarck's liver and gallbladder cleanse, and as dreadful as it is, I can say it works. I expelled a lot of gallbladder stones.

I did it not knowing what was wrong with me, so I tried everything. I'm not sure if it is advisable to do that having lyme, or to do it at all, it's worth googling, I think that the stones must not be above the certain size to be able to perform the cleanse, but having an aim of getting rid of the stones instead of worrying about curcumin could get you through the "unpleasantries" of drinking a glass of olive oil with pressed grapefruit, feeling nauseous, not drinking water for a while, having repetitive glasses of bitter epsom salt... It a lot of fun. smilewinkgrin

Zimica,

Thank you for your reply. I actually have had that "crazy cleanse" in my tool box for some time and have never felt I was strong enough to do it. I have heard other people say that they have been successful using it. However, I have not ever heard that the stones must not be above a certain size. So this is a good consideration as well going forward if I decide to give it a shot.

Thanks again!
