Gallbladder Flush

Symptoms of Gallbladder Problems

Day 1 through 6 (usually Monday through Saturday)

Drink as much fresh organic apple juice as you can.*  Ideally, consume a half gallon per day.

• If you cannot get fresh organic apple juice, purchase the best quality organic apple juice available.
• If you do not tolerate the sugar in apple juice, dilute the apple juice with water. If you still do not tolerate

the apple juice, then eat at least three or four fresh organic apples each day in place of the apple juice.

Chew the apples well and drink plenty of pure spring water throughout the day (one half your body weight

in ounces per day).

*NOTE: If you have yeast overgrowth DO NOT use apples or juices, instead take 6-8 tablets of Fibroplex®

daily.

Continue with your normal diet, except eliminate all oils and fat from your diet (no butter, meats [except fat free meats], cooking oils, nuts, or avocado).

Avoid chamomile tea (stimulates bile secretion from liver; could bring on an attack in susceptible people).

Plan a relaxing, restful day as your body is purging itself and continue to eat low-fat meals.  Your gallbladder has just "run a marathon", and it needs rest now or you could precipitate a gallbladder attack.

You may see a change in your stool color, and/or light to dark green gelatinous objects in your stool this day and maybe the next. These contain purged bile from the gallbladder and are helping to detoxify the liver and relieve congestion in the gallbladder.  If there are a large number of these objects in the stool you may repeat the liver/ gallbladder flush in two to three weeks. Otherwise, the flush may be repeated as needed up to four times a year. Consult your doctor for how many flushes needed.

See your health care professional within 1-3 days after the flush!
