If it was a few stones I could see them doing that. My gal bladder was enlarged enough by the time they took it out (recall this had been going on for 13 years) that they had to actually increase the size of the incision because my gal bladder was oversized due to the amount of stones in it.

I remember still thinking "Why didn't anyone do a sonogram on any single time I went to a hospital ER, medical center, or drove 4 hours to see a Specialist?"

I remember the specialist cost us $600 at a time we didn't have much money. Didn't have insurance. That was a huge expenditure for us that year.

He talked to me for less than hour, ordered some tests he'd contact me about, and diagnosed me with Irritable Bowl Syndrome.

Like I said my wife eventually became really pissed off...

I just wanted the pain to stop.

At any point did you try any alternative practises? I tried many alternatives on my son after the allopaths gave him asthma. I eventually found one that worked and stuck with that even when he was having full blown asthma attacks they brought him back quicker and safer than a hospital did.

Yeah... as I stated eventually my wife went with some common herbs and proteins.

That stopped the attacks for over 3 years and then the big one hit and landed me in the hospital. Prior to that I was lucky if I could make it a month without an attack. Which lasted for years.

When it first happened I lived in Lake City, Colorado. 56 miles from nearest hospital. No fast food restaurants. Most restaurants were only open in the summer and during months Tourists and people with summer homes were there.

I drank soda back then. I also drank a lot of water. It was some of the best tasting water I've ever had. However, I was not filtering it back then. This is an old Silver mining town with two rivers flowing into the town from up old canyons that have old mines in them.

For all I know I had something being caused by something in the water. It certainly wasn't a fast food thing because we didn't have a single fast food restaurant. Those were 56 miles away in Gunnison where the hospital is at.
