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.

Works like a charm!! Been having bad gallbladder pain for nearly 3 hours, and trying to sleep, I decided to check online for remedies. I found this and unfortunately didnt have apple cider vinegar, but used distilled white vinegar. Mixed the drink about 10 minutes ago, and still half of the cup left and my pain is going away!!! 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!

I'm in the middle of a gallstone attack and was reading this trying to find a home remedy for the pain. I'm pretty suspicious when reading cures online but out of desperation I went and bought ACV and apple juice. Now this is after taking two vicodins. About an hour and a half after taking the 2nd vicodin I was still having pain. So I tried the ACV and apple juice - about a 1/2 cup of ACV and the rest apple juice to make it taste better. Within about 20-30 minutes - the pain has subsided signifcantly enough to make me want to share this. For me, it may be a combination of the pain medicine and the ACV but the pain medicine wasn't cutting it after being in my system for at least 2 and a 1/2 hours total - I took the 1st pill, waited about an hour then since pain was getting worse, took another pill. As I mentioned - about an hour and a half later the pain was still bad - but I was able to drive to the store. So glad I did. If you're having a gallstone attack - give this easy remedy a try - it's worth the $7. Apparently ACV has all kinds of other benefits too if you drink it daily.

I was scheduled to have my Gall bladder removed approximetely six months ago, unfortunely I have COPD and hardening of the Arteries and the Surgeon did not get proper clearence from my Pulmonist and cardiac doctors so that day, the Hospital cancelled my appointment until I went through a series of tests, now remember I have been in serious pain for six weeks and the the ultrasound showed my Gallbladder full and I could get no relief but to eat beets and beet juice very little relief but it did help, until I read about Apple cider Vinegar three tablestones with six ounces of water or apple juice three times a day. I have been pain free for four months now and refuse to get the gallbladder removed because the surgeon and my doctor knew that the ACV does work but never told me about it. I found it on the Web, thank goodness I never miss taking my ACV three times a day. I feel like a new man gained a few pounds because now I can eat, I'm still careful with my fat intake but Pain Free

ACV and Apple juice so works cant believe it- bought german cider vinegar with mother ( Cloudeness) timed it. After an hour pressure and nagging pain 90% diminished. Thank you Ann so much, so afraid of an iodine injection CT scan just to see the problem, will try this for awhile to see how it goes.

I was in a great amount of pain yesterday and today that radiated from under my ribs into my mid-back. Horrible!!! I googled "immediate gall bladder pain relief" and this site came up. I drank 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (Organic) with 8 oz 100% apple juice. I experienced relief within about an hour. Whew!! I'm going in the morning to have an ultrasound of my gall bladder. I do not want to have it removed. I'm very happy the pain is gone for now. Very thankful!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have suffered from gallbladder attacks for a couple of years now. A vegetarian diet does minimize my attacks to about once a year ( I do indulge in goodies on occasion)

I had my first attack in over a year tonight and it was so severe. I came across this site and have raw ACV about an hour or so later I am 90% pain free. First 10 minutes I felt relief. Thank you so much for this information. I am truly grateful.

Grateful from Sacramento, Amber

I just tried the Apple Cider Vinegar and apple juice for my gallstones and it really works. I have been suffering from an attack for over a day and this started working within 30 minutes. I can finally get some much needed rest! Thank you so much! If your are suffering give it a try, what do you have to lose!

I can only say this about apple juice and vinegar: It works!!!

When I have a gall bladder attack, I quickly drink 1/4 cup of organic vinegar in 8 oz of apple juice. The average time for pain to stop for me is abput 10 minutes. It leaves completely at that time. I am going to try to take a couple glasses a day, maybe a teaspoon to 8 oz juice. I stopped doing that and think that was a mistake!

If you are skeptical, please by all means try this remedy and keep the juice and vinegar with you when you go out also. I avoided surgery for several years now using this method. I tell you the attacks are horrible as anyone knows who has had them.

Good luck, and God Bless. Pete

my last attack was 3days ago and it lasted 9 hours:( I have tryed all the usual stuff painkillers from docs etc but nothing worked! The attacks are sooo painfull id rather do childbirth twice over than have gallstone pain! Soo after reading on the internet about Apple Cider Vinegar apparently easing gallstone pain I ordered a bottle to try, earlier on this evening I felt the usual gallbladder pain begining to build up, I went and made up some Apple Cider Vinegar and within 15mins of drinking it the pain eased off! Soo I am one very happy bunny this evening :)

Dear Earth Clinic Editor ,

I wish to place on record my gratitude for the information and Guidance I found on your website .

On the Morning of December 22 , 2011 I had my first EXCRUCIATING gallbladder atack .

I am 62 yrs old and took the pian for more than ten hours whilst just lying on the marble floor face doown - the best way to minimize the Pain .

Being concerned about the spread of the infection which started in my front abdomen and spread to the right to my gallbladder I went that evening to a local hospital in terrible pain .

I was examined and underwent a blood and urine test . My blood pressure was 150/100 I was given pain killers and antibiotics for a week and recommended to return for an ultrasound . They could not tell me the exact problem but hinted that it may be kidney stone .

I told them that every time I lie down the attack starts .

Since then I could not sleep - only cat-napping in a SITTING position . I had no bowel movement for a week and lost my appetite. I had several attacks of fever and tried to sweat it out .

I discovered that HOT showers did help relieve the pain temporarily .

I purchased further antibiotics in the assumption that they were having some effect .

Being absolutely lost for a reason / cause as to the continuous excruciating pain in the right side of my lowerback I did research on the internet yesterday and found that the suspect organ was my Gallbladder .

I found your website and purchased the AJC AND AJV . Since 2200 krs PM LT last night I drank drank 3 glasses up to 0700 hrs/am this morning. The third glass produced the positive results shared by other sufferers . I have since been able to sleep and have had only one Minor attack in the last 8 hours.

I am most grateful for the information found on your website

I shall inform you of developments

Many thanks and kind regards

Seasons greetings

My attacks started about a year ago occurring randomly every few months becoming progressively more frequent which lead me on a search for a natural remedy. I found this site earlier today and ironically had an attack tonight. So I mixed 3 tbs of ACV with apple juice and even though I read all the accounts of how well this works I have to admit I am utterly amazed. Within 40 minutes the pain is completely gone! I am SO grateful for finding this page. I thought I had to post as more proof for anyone else out there who is looking for help. Thank you!!

This is Saturday and I'm still in pain. I was sent home with pepsid and pain pills. The apple juice and Apple Cider Vinegar is giving me relief!!

Thanks everyone!!!

YEA! Our 10yr old son had all the symptoms of a gallbladder attack the other night (clay colored stool, stomach pain, onset after dinner etc). His pain was significant enough to keep him curled up and unable to stretch out. We gave him organic apple juice then 8oz warm water and apple cider vinegar (_____'s) and he was able to stretch out after about 30 minutes. He had a nice brown bowel movement the next AM (phew! ). We'll be doing the final gallstone cleanse in a few days (just in case).

This works! I was starting to have pain from my currently sluggish gallbladder. I put a Tablespoon of raw, organic apple cider vinegar in a cup of apple juice (not organic, I have Trader Joe's Macintosh apple juice on hand), and within minutes the pain subsided, I still can't believe it.

I have had an increase in my gall bladder attacks this past month and shot up out of bed at 3 am. This morning. Without having insurance, the removal of my gb is not an option at this time. Deperate to get rid of the agonizing pain, I found this thread about apple cider vinegar, 3 TBSP of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed in a cup of applejuice (I used more to help the bitterness) and within 30 minutes the pain subsided. I'm still working on drinking the rest of the mixture as it is a little tough for me being a water only drinker. Thank you for this website and so many people whom have posted their experiences.

What a relief to find this website and all of your ACV suggestions!

I had severe pain last night at 11pm. Tried drinking GingerAle because at first I thought it was indigestion but the pain didn't go away. Tried water and still nothing. Pain started getting worse. By this time it was 2:30am and I was at my wits end. That's when I found this site.

I didn't have any apple juice but I swallowed 3 tbsp of ACV and drank room temp water. It took about 1/2 hour for the pain to subside so I was able to sleep.

Health and happiness to all of you here.

I was having a gall bladder attack tonight and Googled what to do for myself and read this thread, so I gave the apple cider vinegar in apple juice a try, and sure enough about 20 minutes later I was feeling a great deal of relief. Thanks for this awesome advice and thread! I didn't want to end up back in the ER again, which I understand I only need to do if I get a fever, severe nausea or vomiting, or increasing pain that doesn't go away after a few hours. I'm glad there is something to do for self treatment to help deal with the problem though. It worked great!

I have to say I was a little leary of this at first... But when I woke up this morning in such sheer agony... I had to try anything. I dont like taking medicine to much so I was looking for some relief without having to take any. So my boyfriend went and got me some ACV and apple juice. I put 3 tablespoons in a cup of apple juice and drank up. It did take about 45 min to kick in but I feel much better now. Still a little nautious... But overall 95% better! Thank you so much for this remedy!

Worked Temporarily

I have been experiencing textbook Gallbladder Disease symptoms off and on for the last month. Pain was so bad this afternoon I finally headed to urgent care to find out what was going on. After being told "it sounds like gallbladder issues but we need to do blood work first" and being given a script for percecet I started googling and came across this site. Still in extreme pain I did the Apple Cider Vinegar/Apple Juice drink and about 40 min later felt the best I had in days--worked better than the prescription drugs! But here I am, 4 hours later at 1am, waking up in pain again. I drank more, feel better but am left wondering about a more permenant treatment or way for managing my-yet-to-be-diagnosed, Gallbladder issues. Any home remedies, dietary recommendations, supplements etc would be GREATLY WELCOMED! thanks

My husband had cholelithiasis (gallbladder 'attack') episode and I read thru this thread... I am a BIG believer that 95% of people have magnesium deficiency. I rx for almost every one of my clients this 'miracle' mineral... From very young children all the way to 90 yr olds! Age/wt - dose dependent. I increased the dose of magnesium my husband was takes daily, from 1000mg up to 2000mg temporarily, gave him the apple cider vinegar/apple juice remedy for the terrible pain he was experiencing with chills and over all feeling of sluggishness and just wanting to sleep... NO EXAGGERATION... He was totally devoid of pain, (has just slight soreness now with deep breathing) no chills, and feeling so good within 30 minutes, that we were able to walk to the store to get ACV with 'mother', and fresh pressed apple juice! He is sold on this! We'll be drinking it every day from this day forth!! total change of diet! (: Thanks soooo much for this awesome site! Mark and Terri

I was diagnosed with "sludge" in my gallbladder after several attacks 18 months ago. I went into the ER and was too sick at the time to get the gallbladder removed (Jaundice, Liver damage and pancreatitis from a stone that was lodged in the CB duct) In the time that I had to wait for surgery I started learning everything I could about cholecystitis and find out how to handle it naturally. Apple Cider Vinegar is part of my arsenal. I have been eating such crap in the past few days that the pain just shot me right out of bed this evening (morning actually). I went straight to the kitchen and drank a glass of water, the cider/vinegar mixture and now sipping another glass of water. Just in the time I have been surfing the web and reading these comments I am feeling better. Seriously, 40 minutes ago the pain was outstanding, now I am starting to relax.

Thank you... Thank you.... Thank you!!! I have been having problems with a sluggish gallbladder for about 1 1/2 yrs now (right after my son was born). Nothing but pain medication available from the doctor which really wasn't any help. I had an attack 4 days ago that had me in agony for approx. 9 hours. I was into another one when I found your site. The ACV worked like a charm! 2 tablespoons and water.

Also I found another site that I tried first and it did lessen the pain almost immediately. Apparently eating legumes will stop the pain but over time eliminate stones! That won't help me since I don't have stones just a low functioning gallbladder but hopefully it will help someone else. Well worth the read. Again, thank you so much!

I was scheduled to have my Gall bladder removed approximetely six months ago, unfortunely I have COPD and hardening of the Arteries and the Surgeon did not get proper clearence from my Pulmonist and cardiac doctors so that day, the Hospital cancelled my appointment until I went through a series of tests, now remember I have been in serious pain for six weeks and the the ultrasound showed my Gallbladder full and I could get no relief but to eat beets and beet juice very little relief but it did help, until I read about Apple cider Vinegar three tablestones with six ounces of water or apple juice three times a day. I have been pain free for four months now and refuse to get the gallbladder removed because the surgeon and my doctor knew that the ACV does work but never told me about it. I found it on the Web, thank goodness I never miss taking my ACV three times a day. I feel like a new man gained a few pounds because now I can eat, I'm still careful with my fat intake but Pain Free

ACV and Apple juice so works cant believe it- bought german cider vinegar with mother ( Cloudeness) timed it. After an hour pressure and nagging pain 90% diminished. Thank you Ann so much, so afraid of an iodine injection CT scan just to see the problem, will try this for awhile to see how it goes.

I was in a great amount of pain yesterday and today that radiated from under my ribs into my mid-back. Horrible!!! I googled "immediate gall bladder pain relief" and this site came up. I drank 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (Organic) with 8 oz 100% apple juice. I experienced relief within about an hour. Whew!! I'm going in the morning to have an ultrasound of my gall bladder. I do not want to have it removed. I'm very happy the pain is gone for now. Very thankful!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have suffered from gallbladder attacks for a couple of years now. A vegetarian diet does minimize my attacks to about once a year ( I do indulge in goodies on occasion)

I had my first attack in over a year tonight and it was so severe. I came across this site and have raw ACV about an hour or so later I am 90% pain free. First 10 minutes I felt relief. Thank you so much for this information. I am truly grateful.

I can only say this about apple juice and vinegar: It works!!!

When I have a gall bladder attack, I quickly drink 1/4 cup of organic vinegar in 8 oz of apple juice. The average time for pain to stop for me is abput 10 minutes. It leaves completely at that time. I am going to try to take a couple glasses a day, maybe a teaspoon to 8 oz juice. I stopped doing that and think that was a mistake!

If you are skeptical, please by all means try this remedy and keep the juice and vinegar with you when you go out also. I avoided surgery for several years now using this method. I tell you the attacks are horrible as anyone knows who has had them.

Good luck, and God Bless. Pete

Dear Earth Clinic Editor ,

I wish to place on record my gratitude for the information and Guidance I found on your website .

On the Morning of December 22 , 2011 I had my first EXCRUCIATING gallbladder atack .

I am 62 yrs old and took the pian for more than ten hours whilst just lying on the marble floor face doown - the best way to minimize the Pain .

Being concerned about the spread of the infection which started in my front abdomen and spread to the right to my gallbladder I went that evening to a local hospital in terrible pain .

I was examined and underwent a blood and urine test . My blood pressure was 150/100 I was given pain killers and antibiotics for a week and recommended to return for an ultrasound . They could not tell me the exact problem but hinted that it may be kidney stone .

I told them that every time I lie down the attack starts .

Since then I could not sleep - only cat-napping in a SITTING position . I had no bowel movement for a week and lost my appetite. I had several attacks of fever and tried to sweat it out .

I discovered that HOT showers did help relieve the pain temporarily .

I purchased further antibiotics in the assumption that they were having some effect .

Being absolutely lost for a reason / cause as to the continuous excruciating pain in the right side of my lowerback I did research on the internet yesterday and found that the suspect organ was my Gallbladder .

I found your website and purchased the AJC AND AJV . Since 2200 krs PM LT last night I drank drank 3 glasses up to 0700 hrs/am this morning. The third glass produced the positive results shared by other sufferers . I have since been able to sleep and have had only one Minor attack in the last 8 hours.

I am most grateful for the information found on your website

I shall inform you of developments

Many thanks and kind regards

I found this site earlier today and ironically had an attack tonight.

YEA! Our 10yr old son had all the symptoms of a gallbladder attack the other night (clay colored stool, stomach pain, onset after dinner etc). His pain was significant enough to keep him curled up and unable to stretch out. We gave him organic apple juice then 8oz warm water and apple cider vinegar (_____'s) and he was able to stretch out after about 30 minutes. He had a nice brown bowel movement the next AM (phew! ). We'll be doing the final gallstone cleanse in a few days (just in case).

This works! I was starting to have pain from my currently sluggish gallbladder. I put a Tablespoon of raw, organic apple cider vinegar in a cup of apple juice (not organic, I have Trader Joe's Macintosh apple juice on hand), and within minutes the pain subsided, I still can't believe it.

I have had an increase in my gall bladder attacks this past month and shot up out of bed at 3 am. This morning. Without having insurance, the removal of my gb is not an option at this time. Deperate to get rid of the agonizing pain, I found this thread about apple cider vinegar, 3 TBSP of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed in a cup of applejuice (I used more to help the bitterness) and within 30 minutes the pain subsided. I'm still working on drinking the rest of the mixture as it is a little tough for me being a water only drinker. Thank you for this website and so many people whom have posted their experiences.

What a relief to find this website and all of your ACV suggestions!

I had severe pain last night at 11pm. Tried drinking GingerAle because at first I thought it was indigestion but the pain didn't go away. Tried water and still nothing. Pain started getting worse. By this time it was 2:30am and I was at my wits end. That's when I found this site.

I didn't have any apple juice but I swallowed 3 tbsp of ACV and drank room temp water. It took about 1/2 hour for the pain to subside so I was able to sleep.

Health and happiness to all of you here.

I was having a gall bladder attack tonight and Googled what to do for myself and read this thread, so I gave the apple cider vinegar in apple juice a try, and sure enough about 20 minutes later I was feeling a great deal of relief. Thanks for this awesome advice and thread! I didn't want to end up back in the ER again, which I understand I only need to do if I get a fever, severe nausea or vomiting, or increasing pain that doesn't go away after a few hours. I'm glad there is something to do for self treatment to help deal with the problem though. It worked great!

I have to say I was a little leary of this at first... But when I woke up this morning in such sheer agony... I had to try anything. I dont like taking medicine to much so I was looking for some relief without having to take any. So my boyfriend went and got me some ACV and apple juice. I put 3 tablespoons in a cup of apple juice and drank up. It did take about 45 min to kick in but I feel much better now. Still a little nautious... But overall 95% better! Thank you so much for this remedy!

Worked Temporarily

I have been experiencing textbook Gallbladder Disease symptoms off and on for the last month. Pain was so bad this afternoon I finally headed to urgent care to find out what was going on. After being told "it sounds like gallbladder issues but we need to do blood work first" and being given a script for percecet I started googling and came across this site. Still in extreme pain I did the Apple Cider Vinegar/Apple Juice drink and about 40 min later felt the best I had in days--worked better than the prescription drugs! But here I am, 4 hours later at 1am, waking up in pain again. I drank more, feel better but am left wondering about a more permenant treatment or way for managing my-yet-to-be-diagnosed, Gallbladder issues. Any home remedies, dietary recommendations, supplements etc would be GREATLY WELCOMED! thanks

My husband had cholelithiasis (gallbladder 'attack') episode and I read thru this thread... I am a BIG believer that 95% of people have magnesium deficiency. I rx for almost every one of my clients this 'miracle' mineral... From very young children all the way to 90 yr olds! Age/wt - dose dependent. I increased the dose of magnesium my husband was takes daily, from 1000mg up to 2000mg temporarily, gave him the apple cider vinegar/apple juice remedy for the terrible pain he was experiencing with chills and over all feeling of sluggishness and just wanting to sleep... NO EXAGGERATION... He was totally devoid of pain, (has just slight soreness now with deep breathing) no chills, and feeling so good within 30 minutes, that we were able to walk to the store to get ACV with 'mother', and fresh pressed apple juice! He is sold on this! We'll be drinking it every day from this day forth!! total change of diet! (: Thanks soooo much for this awesome site! Mark and Terri

I was diagnosed with "sludge" in my gallbladder after several attacks 18 months ago. I went into the ER and was too sick at the time to get the gallbladder removed (Jaundice, Liver damage and pancreatitis from a stone that was lodged in the CB duct) In the time that I had to wait for surgery I started learning everything I could about cholecystitis and find out how to handle it naturally. Apple Cider Vinegar is part of my arsenal. I have been eating such crap in the past few days that the pain just shot me right out of bed this evening (morning actually). I went straight to the kitchen and drank a glass of water, the cider/vinegar mixture and now sipping another glass of water. Just in the time I have been surfing the web and reading these comments I am feeling better. Seriously, 40 minutes ago the pain was outstanding, now I am starting to relax.

Thank you... Thank you.... Thank you!!! I have been having problems with a sluggish gallbladder for about 1 1/2 yrs now (right after my son was born). Nothing but pain medication available from the doctor which really wasn't any help. I had an attack 4 days ago that had me in agony for approx. 9 hours. I was into another one when I found your site. The ACV worked like a charm! 2 tablespoons and water.

Also I found another site that I tried first and it did lessen the pain almost immediately. Apparently eating legumes will stop the pain but over time eliminate stones! That won't help me since I don't have stones just a low functioning gallbladder but hopefully it will help someone else. Well worth the read. Again, thank you so much!

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.

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.

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!

I'm in the middle of a gallstone attack and was reading this trying to find a home remedy for the pain. I'm pretty suspicious when reading cures online but out of desperation I went and bought ACV and apple juice. Now this is after taking two vicodins. About an hour and a half after taking the 2nd vicodin I was still having pain. So I tried the ACV and apple juice - about a 1/2 cup of ACV and the rest apple juice to make it taste better. Within about 20-30 minutes - the pain has subsided signifcantly enough to make me want to share this. For me, it may be a combination of the pain medicine and the ACV but the pain medicine wasn't cutting it after being in my system for at least 2 and a 1/2 hours total - I took the 1st pill, waited about an hour then since pain was getting worse, took another pill. As I mentioned - about an hour and a half later the pain was still bad - but I was able to drive to the store. So glad I did. If you're having a gallstone attack - give this easy remedy a try - it's worth the $7. Apparently ACV has all kinds of other benefits too if you drink it daily.

YEA! Our 10yr old son had all the symptoms of a gallbladder attack the other night (clay colored stool, stomach pain, onset after dinner etc). His pain was significant enough to keep him curled up and unable to stretch out. We gave him organic apple juice then 8oz warm water and apple cider vinegar (_____'s) and he was able to stretch out after about 30 minutes. He had a nice brown bowel movement the next AM (phew! ). We'll be doing the final gallstone cleanse in a few days (just in case).

This works! I was starting to have pain from my currently sluggish gallbladder. I put a Tablespoon of raw, organic apple cider vinegar in a cup of apple juice (not organic, I have Trader Joe's Macintosh apple juice on hand), and within minutes the pain subsided, I still can't believe it.

I have had an increase in my gall bladder attacks this past month and shot up out of bed at 3 am. This morning. Without having insurance, the removal of my gb is not an option at this time. Deperate to get rid of the agonizing pain, I found this thread about apple cider vinegar, 3 TBSP of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed in a cup of applejuice (I used more to help the bitterness) and within 30 minutes the pain subsided. I'm still working on drinking the rest of the mixture as it is a little tough for me being a water only drinker. Thank you for this website and so many people whom have posted their experiences.

What a relief to find this website and all of your ACV suggestions!

I had severe pain last night at 11pm. Tried drinking GingerAle because at first I thought it was indigestion but the pain didn't go away. Tried water and still nothing. Pain started getting worse. By this time it was 2:30am and I was at my wits end. That's when I found this site.

I didn't have any apple juice but I swallowed 3 tbsp of ACV and drank room temp water. It took about 1/2 hour for the pain to subside so I was able to sleep.

Health and happiness to all of you here.

I was having a gall bladder attack tonight and Googled what to do for myself and read this thread, so I gave the apple cider vinegar in apple juice a try, and sure enough about 20 minutes later I was feeling a great deal of relief. Thanks for this awesome advice and thread! I didn't want to end up back in the ER again, which I understand I only need to do if I get a fever, severe nausea or vomiting, or increasing pain that doesn't go away after a few hours. I'm glad there is something to do for self treatment to help deal with the problem though. It worked great!

I have to say I was a little leary of this at first... But when I woke up this morning in such sheer agony... I had to try anything. I dont like taking medicine to much so I was looking for some relief without having to take any. So my boyfriend went and got me some ACV and apple juice. I put 3 tablespoons in a cup of apple juice and drank up. It did take about 45 min to kick in but I feel much better now. Still a little nautious... But overall 95% better! Thank you so much for this remedy!

Worked Temporarily

I have been experiencing textbook Gallbladder Disease symptoms off and on for the last month. Pain was so bad this afternoon I finally headed to urgent care to find out what was going on. After being told "it sounds like gallbladder issues but we need to do blood work first" and being given a script for percecet I started googling and came across this site. Still in extreme pain I did the Apple Cider Vinegar/Apple Juice drink and about 40 min later felt the best I had in days--worked better than the prescription drugs! But here I am, 4 hours later at 1am, waking up in pain again. I drank more, feel better but am left wondering about a more permenant treatment or way for managing my-yet-to-be-diagnosed, Gallbladder issues. Any home remedies, dietary recommendations, supplements etc would be GREATLY WELCOMED! thanks

I experienced my first excruciatingly painful gall bladder attack last night, and out of desperation turned to the Internet for help. I came across your site and decided to try the ACV suggestion, and about 40 minutes later had significant enough relief to go to sleep. In just a little over an hour the pain was nearly gone. Thank you so much for making this information available for people like me!

I had written over a week ago about my husband's gallbladder 'attack', since, he is doing so well! Only when he eats an unrecommended food, does he have soreness! And a "side effect" has had almost no tenderness in arthritis affected joints! I am using it and have lost 16 pounds and have no joint pain in thapye base of my thumbs - developed from doing deep tissue massage therapy as a clinician! We are sold on ACV regimen... My body feels vibrant and alive! Lots of energy.... Telling clients, family, and friends about this easy, inexpensive... And most important of all... Very effective remedy!! Thx so much 4 this site! I'm telling everyone about it! Terri

My husband had cholelithiasis (gallbladder 'attack') episode and I read thru this thread... I am a BIG believer that 95% of people have magnesium deficiency. I rx for almost every one of my clients this 'miracle' mineral... From very young children all the way to 90 yr olds! Age/wt - dose dependent. I increased the dose of magnesium my husband was takes daily, from 1000mg up to 2000mg temporarily, gave him the apple cider vinegar/apple juice remedy for the terrible pain he was experiencing with chills and over all feeling of sluggishness and just wanting to sleep... NO EXAGGERATION... He was totally devoid of pain, (has just slight soreness now with deep breathing) no chills, and feeling so good within 30 minutes, that we were able to walk to the store to get ACV with 'mother', and fresh pressed apple juice! He is sold on this! We'll be drinking it every day from this day forth!! total change of diet! (: Thanks soooo much for this awesome site! Mark and Terri

I was diagnosed with "sludge" in my gallbladder after several attacks 18 months ago. I went into the ER and was too sick at the time to get the gallbladder removed (Jaundice, Liver damage and pancreatitis from a stone that was lodged in the CB duct) In the time that I had to wait for surgery I started learning everything I could about cholecystitis and find out how to handle it naturally. Apple Cider Vinegar is part of my arsenal. I have been eating such crap in the past few days that the pain just shot me right out of bed this evening (morning actually). I went straight to the kitchen and drank a glass of water, the cider/vinegar mixture and now sipping another glass of water. Just in the time I have been surfing the web and reading these comments I am feeling better. Seriously, 40 minutes ago the pain was outstanding, now I am starting to relax.

Thank you... Thank you.... Thank you!!! I have been having problems with a sluggish gallbladder for about 1 1/2 yrs now (right after my son was born). Nothing but pain medication available from the doctor which really wasn't any help. I had an attack 4 days ago that had me in agony for approx. 9 hours. I was into another one when I found your site. The ACV worked like a charm! 2 tablespoons and water.

Also I found another site that I tried first and it did lessen the pain almost immediately. Apparently eating legumes will stop the pain but over time eliminate stones! That won't help me since I don't have stones just a low functioning gallbladder but hopefully it will help someone else. Well worth the read. Again, thank you so much!
