Apple Cider Vinegar in Apple Juice for Gallbladder Pain:
Just want to say THANK YOU for this rememdy. I've had gallstones for years but they've never been a terrible problem until 2 nights ago, when I actually thought I was having a heart attack - never felt pain like it, it was dreadful. Paramedics came and took me to hospital and dosed me with morphine. But my heart was fine and the docs could find nothing wrong. When my heart was all fine, I suspected gallbladder problems. After about 4 hours, the pain went and I was discharged.
But then last night, the pain came back and I googled for a remedy for instant relief. This brought me to your site. Luckily I had both apple juice and cider vinegar in the house and my husband made me up a glass of the mix. I was crying with pain; it was really dreadful. But within about 10 minutes of the applejuice cider vinegar drink, the pain just melted away.
I still can't believe how simple and effective this remedy was. It was like a miracle. So thank you again, from the bottom of my heart for sharing this information.

Two nights ago I had my first attack. It was probably one of the most painful experiences of my 42 year old life!
found symptoms online and knew it was a gallbladder attack.
I didn't have any apple juice, but I had the ACV, I shot down about 1/2 a cup, desperate for relief.
after 3 hours of the worst pain, a warm/hot feeling came over the area under the right side of my ribcage (where most of the pain was coming from). Within 40 minutes the pain had subsided.
I'm a believer. It also want anyone reading this that its the first time I've ever replied to something like this. I feel that this information is too valuable to someone in that predicament not to have.

Yes, agreed. Apple cider vinegar in apple juice is an incredibly fast acting remedy for gallstones! I usually need it right after eating a meal that in a restaurant that has been slathered in butter. If I don't take the apple cider vinegar, I get so nauseous I throw up within 2 hours. My gallbladder can't handle rich food any more.

Gallstone Pain:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just drank 3 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar in 1 glass apple juice, and the pain got tremendously worse for about 10 min. Then, like the end of a storm, the pain began to subside and now, 20 minutes later I am all but pain free. In the past two years, these attacks last me from 2 to 12 hours. This remedy is truly a miracle. This attack began about 2 hrs ago and while still in horrible pain, I came to the computer and your website. An angel of a woman had overheard me at the vitamin dept of Sprouts Mkt just a few days ago. She came over and gave me your web site while I was asking for help for my frequent gall bladder attacks (last one just 2 wks ago). She told me to go to Earthclinic.com and I only did so now, and there was the remedy. I am so greatful to you people for your help!!!!!

Update: So I have subsequently had a couple of more attacks since my liver cleanse flushes. Both attacks were less painfull than the original attacks and they went away within 20 minutes once I had a tablespoon of epsom salts in some apple juice. (Holding my nose plugged as I gagged it down, of course).
I have found that if I take some digestive enzymes right before any "fatty" meal, I do not have attacks. I use the puritan's pride enzymes, buy one get two free. Very good deal. Also, I went to see a ND and she recommended that I take a food allergy test. I found out that I am allergic to milk, eggs, bananas and yeast. (It's been really hard to not eat dairy but I had already cut much of it out due to it causing gallstone attacks anyway. ) Eliminating these foods have also helped me to cope both with the attacks and some inflammationa and sinus issues.
I've also been having tea made from chanca piedra. I will let you know if this works once I've used it for a while. I'm working on getting my liver functioning better since that is the starting place for all gallstone issues.

I have been suffering with gall stone pain attacks for several years which had been misdiagnosed as gastritis. For the past week I have had several really bad attacks always at night and normal painkillers like paracetemol have had no effect. I read this eve about your Apple Cider Vinegar with apple juice recommendation. Fantastic. It's worked within 30 minutes and hopefully I will be able to get to sleep. What a great site!

I don't know about ACV for the gallbladder but thought I would mention what happened to me. When I got pregnant my husband was concerned about me gaining too much weight and I was concerned about getting stretch marks so I cut out butter on my toast and eliminated as much fat out of my diet as I could. I experienced gallbladder attacks so bad I would vomit. This would only happen in the evening. I later read that the gallbladder needs fat to contract and function properly which supports why my fat-free breakfast caused me so much discomfort at night.

Been suffering from intermittent Gallbladder Attacks for over 20 years (maybe once or twice per month), but didn't know that's what they were until recently - I'd always been told the pain was related to my Kidney Stones (referred pain) or ulcers (stress) or GERD, so I never have received proper treatment for the pain and have just learned to live with it until the past 2 months.
For the past 2 months my Gallbladder Attacks have steadily increased to daily episodes which have lasted longer and longer until, for the past 3 weeks, the pain continued unabated 24hours per day every day.
I've come to this site because the Attacks are making daily activities, including eating and working, nearly impossible anymore and I need to find some relief from the pain and perhaps a cure as I do not wish to have my Gallbladder removed to fix this.
I've begun with the Apple Cider Vinegar treatment - it has helped reduce the pain by about 50% for a short while after taking a mixture of 4 Tablespoons of ACV with 8oz of water (chasing it with Cranberry Juice to kill the taste and help reduce my Kidney Stones), but it can't stop the pain. I plan to move on to the Epsom Salt Cleanse to see if that helps and, of course, alter my diet to remove those foods which aggravate the condition.
Thank you all, and this site, for the helpful information provided regarding Gallbladder experiences, symptoms and treatments.
Good luck to us all in dealing with this ailment.
Regards, -Darin

I was diagnosed with gallstones (after having 5 or 6 attacks since Thanksgiving) I did the Hulda Clark liver/gallbladder cleanse and have not had an attack since. One week of eating vegetarian only (lots of apples and lots of apple juice - apparently the acid in the apple juice softens the stones and you don't eat any protien because it causes the liver/gallbladder to work too hard and you want it to be rested for the day of the cleanse). Then followed by the cleanse. I did the cleanse on Friday night so that I could be home on the Saturday (good thing because you are basically "chained to the toilet" due to diarrhea.
The cleanse is a follows. 3 cups of water with 4 tablespoons of epson salts mixed in. (I mixed in some fresh lemon juice to help with that nasty taste). 1 cup of olive oil 1 cup of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice.
Drink 3/4 cup of the epsom salt mixture at 6:00 pm. Take the next 3/4 cup of the epson salt drink at 8:00 pm. Mix 1 cup of olive oil and 1 cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit just thoroughly. Drink at 10:00 pm and lay down immediately for 30 minutes.
When you wake up in the morning, but not before 6 am take another 3/4 cup of the epsom salt mixture. Exactly two hours later take the rest of the mixture. Be prepared - you will need to be close to the toilet! The stones will float as they are mostly made out of cholesterol. Any stones that are calcified should sink to the bottom of the toilet. I had to use some vaseline on my behind from the burning of going so much.
I was very tired after doing this cleanse. According to the directions you will need to keep doing the cleanses until no more stones come out. I will not do them more than once a month because it made me so tired.
I also did the apple cider mix and that worked after 20 minutes but it's just a temporary fix. You need to get the stones out in order to quit having the attacks. In the mean time avoid, dairy, high fatty foods such as beef/pork, chocolate, nuts. I carry the epsom salts in my bag in case I have an attack. The epsom salts relaxes the tubes and helps the stone pass. One tablespoon in a cup of water or juice. Sorry for the long explanation.
I will keep you in my prayers. Like you, I thought I had acid reflux and instead found out that my gall bladder was all this time letting me know it was full of stones.

Hello. I just became a big fan of this site. I've been having gallblader attacks off and on, ( more on than off) since sunday afternoon. I found your site searching on google, Thank you so much. I used the Epsom, warm water and pear juice remedy as we didnt have any ACV on hand. It has helped. I plan on stocking up on apple cider viniger as we have used it in the past for other things as well.
I was wondering if there is a gallblader flush that anyone can recamend. I've had these attacks in the past and was always told it was ulcers and treated for that. Aparently they were wrong. After reading the articals on your site I finaly know whats going on. Again thank you.

My wife was having these severe heart burn like symtoms after the birth of our son. We visited many Doctors who diagnosed Acid Reflux and of course recommended a whole lot of pain medication and antacids to no avail. On our last visit to a hospital they did an indepth chack and found the problem to be as a result of gall stones. It was good that they diagnosed the problem but those people were preparing her for surgery without even informing us. We opted out and decided to check online for natural remedies and came accross this thread. To sum up the results I will just say that this thread was a blessing to us. She had one more attack the same night we first saw this thread and that was the last. She is still using the mixture twice daily and we will try the lemon juice and olive oil shortly. Once again thanks very much.

Wow - I can't believe how fast this remedy works! I just took about 1/2 a glass of Apple Cider Vinegar. I didn't have apple juice, so put in some pear juice. It was a bit hard to swallow down, but 30 min. Later, my pain is greatly reduced. I've been feeling absolutely aweful for about a week - pain, a pressure/bruised feeling under my right ribs and a sharp pain through my back between my spine and right shoulder blade, gas, diarrhea, nauseau and some vomiting. I went in to see a specialist yesterday and he ordered blood tests (liver and thyroid too) and a fasting ultrasound which I just had this morning. But waiting days for a result has been aweful. He said if I get a fever or the pain is excruciating, go right to the ER. I took the drink about 30 min. Ago and I'm much more comfortable. I wouldn't say it's completely gone, but I definitely feel better.

I have been having episodes with my gallbladder and scheduled for surgery. I am already regulating my diet even more but last night, felt another episode coming. I found this page before I was doubled up in pain. Unf it was too late and the stores open only had apple juice from concentrate and non organic apple cider vinegar. I started taking it before the pain was 100% (compared to previous episodes). I was careful to also stay upright the whole time.
The cocktail did work - pain subsided slowly over an hour. In an hour I was better but it had not completely subsided so I took another serving. It continued to subside but I had some stomach acidity. That said, the acidity was manageable (i.e. , wont keep me from going to sleep or not requiring Zantac). I would rather have that over the intense pain that emanates from underneath my ribs to all the way to the back. I will be going to stock up on organic apple juice/apple cider in case I need it again. Thanks ANN for sharing.

Hi Shais, I am breastfeeding my four months old and take ACV. I took it during my pregnancy too. My baby is perfectly healthy and happy baby sleeps well and eats well. I am firm believer that ACV is perfectly safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. But I also followed Teds remedies during pregnancy. Thank you so much Ted. Thank you Earth Clinic.

@Lisa: thank you for your comments, it is true that constipation and heartburn are my issues as well. But I am afraid that these gallstone attacks or their intensity may not increase as time progresses. Since I am strictly avoiding all saturated fats from the start of pregnancy, but inspite of all this Pain has come back. That is why I am thinking for liver cleanse. I dont want to remove my gallbladder. I have read somewhere that some women did liver detox even after 30 weeks of pregnancy successfully and the baby was fine.

Hi Shais, Someone wrote in recently with this same question about ACV during pregnancy. And yes, it is safe to use during pregnancy. It helps with digestion and also constipation which are two issues during pregnancy. Another is heartburn in the later stages of pregnancy which ACV is known to help as well. It can also be used during breastfeeding benefitting you and the baby.
As for a liver cleanse during pregnancy, I would say no. One should never detox while pregnant. Wait until after you've had the baby for this. Just eat healthily and take care of yourself. Wishing you the best during this special time, Lisa

I am also a victim of Gallstone/gall blader attack for a year ago when my second baby was due. I have been using apples, ACV and apple juice. I have also done liver flush/liver cleanse (olive oil lemon juice) twice and it has shown positive results. I had started my normal diet with meat, dairy and fats and it was all fine with no more pain. I wanted do more cleanses but I to became pregnant, and stopped my program with a doubt that ACV might not be good during pregnancy. Now I am avoiding all fatty food, no dairy, no meat in my diet (as pregnancy increases the gallstone attck due to some harmones created during it). I am 6 months pregnant now, but again feeling some medium intensity attacks. Can someone tell is it safe to use ACV during pregnancy? Is it safe to do liver cleanse at this stage?

Works like a charm!! Been having bad gallbladder pain for nearly 3 hours, and trying to sleep, I decided to check online for remedies.

Thank you so much for this site and the testimonials... I can sleep!! =)

Wow! I am so incredibly grateful to those who offered the apple juice/act remedy! Was in severe pain with my second attack and headed to a 24 hour grocery store to buy these items. Nausea was so bad that when I left the store I got sick in the parking lot. Drove home crying and in terrible pain and made the drink. That was a half hour ago. I'm now heading for a bubble bath and to sleep! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

This page and remedy is a lifesaver! I had two gallbladder attacks last week that put me in the ER two nights in a row. The first night night, I thought it was gas, and all the Dr did was give me narcotics until the pain stopped. I got 3 doses of morphine which took the edge off just a tiny bit if anything. Finally they gave me some dilauded which worked in about 30 seconds. They discharged me and I went home to sleep off the drugs.
The second night, I had a different ER Dr. He gave me a "GI cocktail" which was mylanta, mixed with viscous lidocain (to numb everything), and a third ingredient. It worked in about 10 minutes. Said I had GERD, gave me a prescription for Prilosec, and sent me home. The next day I saw a GI specialist, who properly thought it was my Gallbladder. The next morning I had the HIDA test and my gallbladder didn't even show up on the radiological camera photos.
Last night I felt the discomfort and pressure of another gallbladder attack coming on. I did some googleing and found this page. My wife had some apple cider vinegar and my kids had 2 100% organic apple juice left. I made the potion and in 15 minutes the symptoms were almost completely gone. In 30 minutes I was back to normal.
Thank You! I was worried this was a bogus remedy, but it works. Thank God!
