Wow, holy cow.  Yeah, my ultrasound came back full of stones.  There  
was really no going back at that point.  It runs in my family on my  
mom's side, so I wasn't completely surprised.  Hey, it just occurred  
to me, but there's kind of a famous Alternative Medicine clinic out  
here called the Tahoma Clinic.  A guy named Dr. Jonathan Wright runs  
it, and I know the aging doc I saw learned quite a bit from her  
association with him.  My point is that all these guys tend to know  
each other.  Maybe they know somebody out in Nashville that they could  
recommend.  Particularly since your ultrasounds aren't coming back as  
full of stones.  Although I guess it wouldn't rule out have a stone in  
the duct or something.  Anyhow, I'm going to toss out their contact  
information in case you would like to call them up and see if they can  
recommend a like-minded doc in your neck of the woods that might  
help:   (this is the guy my husband went to and had allergy tests done  
with which said he was terribly allergic to lots of stuff he loves and  
eats all the time...)

Yeah.  Whatever you've got sure sounds like a stuck gallstone, but  
then again, there are other things connected to it and it's not an  
isolated system.   Sorry I can't be more helpful.
