My good friend, male 67, recently turned yellow. He saw a doctor who tested him for hepatitis, results negative. A CT scan showed that the gall bladder was without stones, but enlarged. It was then discovered that the duct leading out of the gall bladder was constricted. A stint was put in so that the duct could again pass bile. Everything seemed fine until today, when the jaundice returned. It is suspected that the duct has re-constricted or clogged from a kind of "sludge."
My question is, could a remedy treating the symptoms--yellow skin, clay-colored stool, tea-colored urine and intense itching--be used to attempt to address the clogged duct? I'm waiting to hear from all of you and to learn. Thanks. Kathy
