not good for either.  Best thing for kidney stones is plenty of clear fluids NOT CARBONATED.  Gallstones....ewww.  Once you get them, its hard to get rid of them....you don't "pass" them like you would a kidney stone, and the more greasy or oily foods you eat, the worse they are.  More than likely, you'll need to get your gall bladder out.

Hi Djinn\n\nHere are a few ideas to help the healing process.\n\nCause: \nArthritis is caused by acids and waste matter in the body, which eventually become solidified and lock the joint. This condition is caused and aggravated by improper diet. Some of the worst intakes are eggs, bread, milk, meat, salt, sugar, etc., because they cause arthritic calcification. The use of extremely hard water (generally of twelve or more grains in hardness) will often accentuate an arthritic condition where softer water will help relieve it. Sometimes an individual with a good inherent structure can throw off the hardest water without arthritic effect. The weaker person may drink water that is not very hard and absorb from it relatively larger quantities of the inorganic minerals. \n\n\nQuick Action Plan for Rheumatoid Arthritis\n\n1. Acupuncture treatment helps to reduce the body's aggressive defenses that inadvertently attack its own joint tissue. \n\n2. Massage affected joints with rosemary, benzoin, chamomile, camphor, juniper, or lavender. \n\n3. Diet plays an integral part in reducing or preventing the onset of all types of arthritic conditions. A diet rich in an abundant selection of fresh vegetables, and a wide variety of sweet and non-sweet fruits, soaked nuts and seeds, and whole grains is recommended. \n\n4. Tomatoes, cayenne, black and long pepper should be avoided by person's with rheumatoid arthritis. Minimize protein intake, choose small quantities of fish, legumes, eggs, soaked nuts and seeds. Eliminate beef, chicken, shellfish, and pork completely. Eat no hydrogenated fats, processed sugars, dairy products, alcohol, coffee, or black tea. \n\n5. Use the following powerful aids to speed and assist healing: Goji, Acai and Noni juice, bee pollen, royal jelly, and evening primrose oil are recommended, as is Shark cartilage, Wobenzyme, DMSO, MSM Manganese Cetyl myristoleate with lipase, and vitamin C.\n\n6. Test for food and environmental allergies and avoid all foods and substances to which you are allergic. \n\n7. Cleansing and Detoxification including colon and bowel cleansing therapies, fasting, kidney and gallbladder flushes, physical medicine, and homeopathic remedies. \nIsometric exercises, stretching, and yoga can help ease arthritis pain. \n\n8. Constitutional hydrotherapy (apply two to five times weekly) or heating compress (apply once daily to affected areas). \n\n9 Drink the juice of half a lemon before every meal and before going to bed. \n\nBest of health to your family.\n\nCheers

I am in the US and here they would treat gall bladder problems by removing it(surgically) and possibly the same with the section of the bowel. I would say right now your mum needs to drink lots of water if she can tolerate it this will help with kidneys and bowel issues. Also a diet high in fiber will help a little withthe bowel. Exercise and a good diet(low fat high fiber protien rich) will help her in her recovery as will a good vitamin supplement.\n\nShe has so many things going on in her body I would imagine this will take some time to be corrected. Talk to the doctor who is treating your mum(or possibly a nurse in the office) and see if he has further suggestions for you and her.\n\nBest wishes and good luck to you both!

Go and see you GP and ask about Gallstones.  When I had it I had pain at the bottom of my chest on the right side and into my back.  I was treated for a urine infection too.

first of all, the liver does not get stones.\n\nthe kidney does, but the symptoms of a kidney stone are significantly different from those of a stone in the gall bladder.  not all stones are created equal.\n\nand yes, you can still get gallstones even if the gall bladder is removed.  the bile ducts, that connect your liver (which produces the bile) to your gut (where it's used) are still subject to sludging and, therefore, to stones.\n\nmuch less likely but still possible

Gall Bladder treatment using Beet\nFresh juice of beets, and the juices of carrot and cucumber in quantities of 100 ml each, are one of the finest cleansers of the gall-bladder. This combined juice has proved beneficial in the treatment of all disorders related to this organ, and should be taken twice daily. \n\nGall Bladder Disorder treatment using Pear\nThe pear is another excellent remedy for gall-bladder disorders. The fruit or its juice should he taken liberally by the patient with beneficial results. It exercises a special healing effect on all gall-bladder disorders, including gallstones. \n\nGall Bladder treatment using Chicory\nThe flowers, seeds, and roots of chicory or the endive plant are considered valuable in gall-bladder disorders. A decoction of about 30-60 ml of the flowers, seeds, or roots can be used three times daily with beneficial results in the treatment of these disorders. Endive or chicory juice in almost any combination promotes the secretion of bile and is, therefore, very good for both liver and gall-bladder dysfunctions. \n\nGall Bladder treatment using Dandelion\nDandelion has a beneficial effect on the gall bladder. About 125 ml each of the juices of dandelion and watercress should be taken twice daily. Combined with a vegetarian diet, without much sugar and starch, these juices help to make the gall¬bladder normal. \n\nGall Bladder treatment using Olive and Sunflower Oil\nAn oil cure has been advocated by some nature cure practitioners for the removal of gallstones. Raw, natural, unrefined vegetable oils of olive or sunflower are used. The procedure is to take 30 ml of vegetable oil, preferably olive oil, first thing in the morning and follow it immediately with 120 ml of grapefruit juice or lemon juice. This treatment should be taken every morning for several days, even weeks, if necessary.

The article in the Journal Medicine Today encouraged a gradual reduction in weight which has been shown to improve liver function and reverse liver damage. However the authors warn against very rapid weight loss from fad diets or radical surgery which may have a negative impact upon the progression of liver injury. Also, dont go Veg, when your body is healing it is crucial to get complete protiens (most of which come from animal sources). Just remember to keep animal products at a minimum and cholesterol low (that wont help the liver). As far as the kidneys....you can get cranberry extract at any drug store (pill or tincter form) pop one of those a day with plenty of water.

Never.  Slim Fast has too many vitamins and minerals and unnatural things that your body can't process.  Can cause gallstones.  My mom's doctor calls it "a surgeon's best friend" because it makes so many people have gallstones.

The question has been answered.  The bigger question is how to prevent.  And, a couple of MD's found and easy solution, but you have to do it religiously.\n\n4 ounces of fresh lemon juice in 2 liters of water.  This is what you have to drink every day for the rest of your life.  If you have chronic stones developing.\n\nThere is chemical in the juice which breaks down the stone slowly and will prevent it from forming.  Most of us have a similar chemical in our bodies, so we don't develop stones.  The unlucky people who genetically don't or don't produce enough develop stones.

Dr Folts did the research on aspirin and it's roll as a anti platelet, he also found it does not work when the human body is under stress (when most heart attacks occur). He has been researching other alternatives and the best one to date is Grape seed extract. He has a patented formula marketed through a private company but it would be solicitation to say who it is here. But regular GSE is good for you also.

• Prevent heart disease. The risk for heart attack and stroke may be reduced with this potent antioxidant, which is believed to prevent the plaque development that can clog arteries. A recent study of 38 smokers indicates that PCOs may function as effectively as aspirin in keeping blood cells from sticking together and forming blood clots (called an anticoagulant effect). And the PCOs posed no risk of the gastrointestinal irritation or bleeding generally associated with aspirin. Interestingly, another preliminary study using grape seed oil (which is related to grape seed extract) indicates that using 2 tablespoons a day to replace other oils in cooking could increase HDL ("good") cholesterol by 14% and reduce triglycerides by 15% in just four weeks. \n\n• Minimize fibromylagia damage. Fibromyalgia is an elusive disorder associated with chronic muscle pain and stiffness. The antioxidant power of grape seed extract can help by protecting besieged muscle cells from damage.\n\n• Deter cancer. The antioxidants in grape seed extract work hard at helping to control cellular damage, routinely hunting down and neutralizing mutations within the genetic material of cells that could lead to tumor formation. The development and progression of cancers of the lung, breast, stomach, prostate, colon, skin and other body parts may be stalled as a result. \n\n• Fight skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema. Certain components within the skin--collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid--participate in keeping it healthy. PCOs help keep these substances in good shape by blocking enzymes that might disrupt their chemical structure. In this way, grape seed extract may be useful in treating inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis. Its flavonoids also inhibit allergic reactions that can generate such skin problems as eczema. \n\n• Slow progression of macular degeneration and cataracts. Grape seed extract improves blood flow in the eye's tiny vessels, where certain eye diseases can cause blockages and impairments that result in vision damage. Cataracts are an example. The extract's antioxidant powers are of particular value in warding off the free-radical damage so frequently cited as the leading cause of macular degeneration. \n\n• Lessen allergy symptoms. As a natural antihistamine, grape seed extract may help to control the sneezing, congestion and other hallmarks of an allergic reaction. The extract also inhibits the release of chemicals called prostaglandins that can generate inflammation during an allergic response. Working in concert, the nutrient's antihistamine and anti-inflammatory actions can help to keep at bay such allergic responses as hives, hay fever and eczema. \n\n• Ease eye strain. People who stare at computer monitors for extended periods may benefit from taking grape seed extract. The findings of one recent study indicate that 300 mg, taken daily, will ease eyestrain and enhance perception of contrast after just 60 days.\n\nNote: Grape seed extract has also been found to be useful for a number of other disorders.

Actonel does not commonly cause gallbladder problems, so I doubt they are connected... You likely have gallstones, caused by an imbalance of the bile salts being released by it. These salts can form stones by calcifying. This blocks the passage of bile from the liver into the intestines, which causes a build up of waste inside your body. Without removing the gallbladder, you could die. It is a frequently done operation, and you are putting yourself at very little risk by undergoing the operation.

Cranberries, dried or fresh, and cranberry juice will do wonders for kidney infections or kidney stones. Most importantly, you need to be sure to drink lots of water and juices. Stay away from caffeine, too!\n\nThe absolute best thing you can do, though, is call your doctor and get a professional recommendation based on your own medical history.
