Who get's gallstones?

Who gets gallstones?

You're more likely to get gallstones if:

• You are a woman
• You are more than 60 years of age
• You are of American Indian or Mexican descent
• You have diabetes
• You have a family history of gallstones
• You are pregnant
• You are taking birth control pills
• You eat a diet high in cholesterol
• You are overweight or obese
• You are on a low-calorie diet and have recently lost weight very quickly

I was shocked to find I actually had stones, I do not fall into any of these factoring categories except for the first one, being a woman. These stone can cause serious health problems if left untreated. There is lot's of information on the web on this subject. Many of these sites recommend surgery, chemical drugs taken orally or an injection into the gallbladder to dissolve the stones (experimental).

Not surprisingly I couldn't find a medical site recommending this natural and easy way to pass stones before they become a problem for people.
