Gall Stones

[cyber_girl]

i started lighter life in july 07 and did it till end of sept. i lost 3stones. however in oct i became ill. it started with pian in my side leading to bad tummy and back cramps which lasted fir 20mins. i had these pains twice a week. my doctor sent me for blood test which showed there was alot of inflamtion on my liver and my blood count was low. i had to come of the diet. im eating normal and piled on the weight. things are settleing now. i still have to go for a scan on jan 18th. Hep A, B and C were no detected in the blood test. as well as liver damage or cancer. however my doctor thinks it might be Gall Stones.
i just wanted to know if anyone doing lighter life faced the same or simllar health problem.

Hate to say it, but I just read in a magazine yesterday that gallstones can be brought on by VLCDs. I doubt it's common or we'd hear more about it on the boards so you have been unlucky. I hasten to add that I've only read this and am no expert.
