I Have Had An Ultrasound Done About Over Five Years

I have had an ultrasound done about over five years ago and was diagnosed of having gallstones. I was told to have the operation as i was in hospital for 3 days for pancreatis after they gave me blood test. I have had attacks but they are stretched out over a year or less. But i have been reading a lot about gallstones and some say they can be dissolved, but not keen on flushes as you'd have to go get ultrasound to find how big and how many gallstones there are. I don't mind going back for an ultrasound. My doctor never showed me my ultrasound back then so I didn't know how many or what size. I have taken chancra piedra and taking it again and it is good. I think I should have kept taking it and then went to take an ultrasound again. I didn't take as many as they say to take but this time i will start out by taking 1 or 2 a day as i don't usually have 3 meals a day. then i will increase it to what supposed to take. But I am interested in rowachol which I read about in a site ( forget the name) and then read about it from US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health that rowachol have dissolved gallstones in patients.So I was wondering if it can be harmful and is it worth to try it. |I know doctors say get the operation but even then i read you can still have problems after. I think the culprit for me is milk. I used to drink warm milk before bed sometimes 2 glasses. And last week I had ice cream two days in a row and cheese cake the following day and then I had an attack. I started to exercise for half hour almost 5 times a wk. Started beet soup again. Well I can go on about other options I have found but some are so contradictory. Example. artichokes they say can solve a problem of a blocked duct and allow normal function and then down the article it says if gallbladder problems not to take it. And it is hard to figure when and how to take things to take. If they know what gallstones are made of why can't they figure out what is good to dissolve them since so many have gallstones. I know as you are a doctor is you will say have the operation, but I don't want to go that route just yet. I am 64 but consider myself in okay healthwise except this. I don't know if I said everything i want to say the correct way but can't write everything I know about gallstones. Lol If i cost anything for an answer don't bother sending me an answer.
