Appendicitis

[Guest guest]

Hi, I joined the group a couple of weeks ago to augment my education

and meet lik-minded people. I am a ND student and have been exploring

natural health for many years now. I didn't think I would need the

groups thoughts this soon however.

 

First let me say I eat a pretty good diet. I do eat animal protein

and red meat. I don't have problems with constipation. I avoid

nightshade vegetables because of aceytl choline issues. I am allergic

to wheat but supposedly not gluten. I just relapsed with Graves'

disease and the ony meds I take are for that. I take a multi slated

for adrenals, cal, mg. I have done tons of detoxing the last 2 years

and I juice frequently.I never had abdominal problems with wheat, I

felt it was triggering my graves disease antibody production.

 

I ate wheat on Friday and started having stomach pain Friday night

similiar to period cramps low in my stomach. The next morning I woke

up with what appeared to be a nasty bladder infection. I started

taking cranberry extract and probiotics and saw immediate relief. By

yesterday I was almost better but last night I woke up with what I

thought were period cramps. This morning I have had diarrhea and now

suddenly I have the worst pain in my side imaginable. It comes in

waves with nausea and dry heaves. The only thing I have ate today was

some plain yogurt and I just took some more probiotics and cranberry

extract. 5 minutes later I was double up on the bathroom floor.

 

In my studies I have read that appendix operations are mostly

unneccesary and vowed I would treat mine naturally if I ever had one,

but I am about ready to head to the hospital and soon as I track down

my wayward husband. I am using a cold compress. Any suggestions?

HELP! I may be gone to the ER by the time this goes through

moderation, if so I will let you know what happened.

 

THANKS, Monica

Hello everyone! What a painful time that was. It turned out to be

kidney stones. I can't believe I have stones even though I have a

family history of them. I have a tiny one in my left kidney, 4 tiny

ones and 1 -4mm one in my right kidney and the one that is causing the

problem is in my lower ureter not far from my bladder. The doc said he

can give me a week to try to pass it and then he recommends surgery. I

can't have it zapped with sound waves while it is in the ureter. He

gave me some samples of the drug FLOMAX a smooth muscle relaxant for

prostate problems but he said it may relax the ureter enough to pass the

stone. Does anyone know of anything herbal that might do the same

thing? Later on, I will be researching what I can do to

soften/dissolve/breakup or move the others but my main concern is

getting this one out without drugs and without surgery. Does anyone

have any suggestions? Bladderwack? Gravelroot? Dandelion? I am

thinking these will move the stones but not sure what to try.

Cranberry juice (real organic not regular grocery store) is excellent for kidney

health.

Thank you so much. I started an herbal combination in hopes of breaking

up the stones! You are correct that cranberry juice (the real thing) is

great for kidney health and it was the first thing I tried as soon as

symptoms started. Monica
