Had A Gallstone Attack Earlier After A Evening Meal For Which Tried A Home Remedy, Worked. IS This Caused By Leaky Gut Disorder?
I am a 63 year old female. I had a gallstone attack a few days ago after eating an evening meal of mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, squash cooked in butter. I searched online ( WWW.WWWW.WW and found a home remedy for the symptoms: a glass of apple juice and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It worked!! I got relief within 5-8 hours. Is this a situation that might be caused by 'leaky gut' disorder?

Hope this answers your question.

Hello,
I had gone through your problem. You said you had a gall stone attack few days back. This is not related to leaky gut disorder. Have you got your ultrasound scan of your abdomen? Usually there are many causes for gall stone formation. hypercholesterolemia and red bllod cell disorders also can cause gall stones. Usually gall stones are formed in obese females in their forties of age. No medication can cure gall stones. Even if the stones disappear after taking any medication, there is every chance for gall stones to recur. The treatment of gall stones is cholecystectomy (surgical removal of gall bladder). Get a medical advice as soon as possible before any complications arise.
good luck.
