It would be so cool to run into Parker on his mission! Brock I’m so impressed with your optimism and the desire to serve others. I also like how Boston is so supportive.
@@brockandboston Ha he’s doing good! He’s in a small town by the jungle. His comp is a Mexican from Mexico City and the other 2 elders in their house were from Peru and Brasil so Ram is in a no English situation 🤣 I served in Belem Brasil back in the day that’s kinda closer to your mission. Get well & be good 😜 BTW my mom grew up in Roundup Montana 50 miles from Billings. I used to go fishing up there with my grandparents when I was a kid. Went through the temple for my first time In Billings so grandma and grandpa could be with me. Anyway tell Kelsey to have a good time up there Take care Ramzi
I had my gallbladder taken out like 11 yrs ago. I haven't been able to eat anything greasy and dairy ish. It's not horrible but definitely a food lifestyle change. Hope you keep healing good ❤
Praying for you Brock. Relieved you had surgery and are home to get things figured out. I have chronic health best advice is one day at a time. Your health is first priority ❤
My sister had insane gallbladder attacks, for 9 months we had no idea what was wrong. Turns out she needed her gallbladder out. Turns out she also needed her appendix out. She was 14 when this happened.
I had my gallbladder taken out when I was 12 or so. I am now 23. I haven’t had any issues with gallstones or anything like that. I eat pretty much anything and everything however, I do suffer with greasy foods (it goes right through me). Praying for a fast recovery for you Brock. Wishing you the best of luck on your next adventure ahead.
This was so special. Well wishes and whatever happens is all in God's hands. Boston & Brock thanks for the update. I hope you could go to Montana and finish your mission with Kelsey. Lots of happuness❤
Had mine out. Had to stay away from salads. Watch fatty meat. Small meals. I get acid reflux more so I know the triggers so limit or smaller portions. You will be fine ❤
I was diagnosed with Gallbladder Stones at the age of 12. It took them about 6 weeks to find out what was going on and I was in and out of the hospital until I had the worst episode ever & they finally found out and I was scheduled for surgery the next day. It was so bad. Mine were also at night!!! Makes no sense. It’s so much pain though. I can eat anything now, just need to be careful. I also take Omeprazol 40mg either everyday before breakfast, or before I eat spicy / sour. Get better soon!!!!! I was 12 when I had the surgery and now i’m 21.
I had my Gallbladder removed after 3 ER visits. I had several stones one was the size of a quarter. You’ll quickly learn what foods you can or cannot tolerate. For me Tomato’s as well as Eggs caused problems. 20 years later, I can eat both with no problems. I was 28 when I had my surgery.
Praying for you Brock that the Lord will guide you through the healing process and lead you onto your next Mission and that His perfect will for you can bring you peace and joy! Praying for you also Boston! I believe in you both and your Family as well! Always my personal best for you all! Yes I remember you all daily! Mark in Iowa.
I had to change my whole diet because I was having issues with acidic things like tomatoes or ketchup and black pepper and im dairy sensitive now no matter what kind. Then after a few years for just me probably my body stopped being able to break some things down so now I can't eat things like popcorn or corn or nuts and obviously nothing deep fried greasy and I can't have any red meat now so just fish chicken pork and my favorite beyond burger. I'm sure im missing some things too but just go slow and small amounts not often its all trial and error. I've known people who after they heal a few months later they can get away with alot more than I and some people never have any problems. Unfortunately for myself I feel like I've had more health problems after that over the years but I've made it through it all and will continue to ❤🙏🏻
I spent my entire senior year having attacks. Mind you this is just when they started using the scope. I was scheduled for surgery meanwhile had to have emergency surgery. I have a 7in scar. I was not a candidate for the scope. I had many large stones and my gallbladder was very diseased. They say it can be heritable my mom was 19 her sister 20 and I was 18. far as food going through you most doctors don’t agree on that being a post surgery. try eating binding foods like rice with your meals. Good luck
I would definitely recommend a carnivore diet honestly- definitely want to chill out on oxalates and if you are ingesting, potatoes, or kale, etc make sure you boil it to reduce the amount of oxalates in it and hopefully that’ll help as well. There are claims out there that high animal proteins contributes to high amounts of uric acid but in my opinion, I wouldn’t follow that too much ;) 😅
Please look into crohns disease. It can cause gallbladder issues in young adults. I would also recommend a very low fat diet and lots of fruits and vegetables. Eating lots of fats may cause other health issues with your pancreas etc
Thanks for the update. Your health is the most thing in your life right now. I think you may want to consider continuing your mission in the US. You will be close to medical facilities here if anything should happen. The chances of getting parasites here is minimal. I think you are most likely still covered under your parent's health plan since most plans cover adult children up to the age of 26. As always, please be healthy, happy and safe.
I had my gallbladder out in April and things do move through faster than they used to but way better than in the beginning. Avoid greasy and starchy foods, they seem to still cause some pain. You’ll be fine, we’re rooting for you! ❤
I had my gall bladder removed in my early 20's. I experienced expedited bowels as well, it didn't matter how clean I would eat. I agree, the pains were horrible!!
Had mine out 21 yrs ago. Still have issues. Literally nothing to do. According to GI docs. Good luck! I just eat slow and small meals. Avoid greasy/oily foods.
Hey Brock and Boston and I hope Brock feeling much better and I love this video a lot and it is a sad part that he is leaving again and please keep us more updated with all his surgery stuff and mission stuff also 😊
I am so proud of you for doing anything delete my the mission and. Realizing that your health is important in order to complete your missions. It's good to see you, but on your videos. You look Like You were having a lot of fun doing God's work Boston did great keeping us informed on how you were Doing you're poor mom was so was hard seeing her be so sad. Keep up keep up the good work😊
Raw Apple cider vinegar (with the mother) and Beets help keep your bile more liquid (ie: less stones). I drink 1 tsp acv in a small glass water. Also mix it with Apple cider (half water + half juice + acv). I did it when I would feel the tightness across my upper back. I would also grate a beet and add acv to it and put it on salads. You can also eat it straight. Both of those things will help you not develop gall stones. God bless you on your healing journey and getting back out on your mission, where ever you are sent. 😁 We are waiting for my son's call. It has been 10 days since his papers were turned in! 🙏😁
Eatting an anti-inflammatory diet. Seeing a doctor who knows nutrition. Your parents are good at being open to the healthy track as medicine along with your doctor. There has to be balance. My daughter had an auto immune and thank God for the GI doctors. They played a part that was very important. She came out to the other side with nutrition. She read everything.... there is so much good info out there. I am confident you and your family are on this. You will find your balance. Your brother and parents are awesome! Along with your sweet sister and Dal. We can't forget precious Kesley!
BI live Brock going propose to Kelsey on her birthday next month or this month during thanksgiving to start their life together as husband and wife in 2024
Just Imagine I was as pregnant as Alyssa is now when I had my first gallbladder attack. Definitely worse than anything I've felt in my life and I've had 3 c-sections. The day before my due date I kept having them back to back. I think being glued to the toilet is 10 times better than having 1 gallbladder attack 😅
I’ve heard from someone I know with out a gallbladder that taking a digestive enzyme before eating a meal helps drastically. It will help break down the food for easier digestion, but does NOT cause diarrhea. I take a good quality one from Melaluca and it has been life changing! Can’t live with out it. Makes a huge difference. (I have my gallbladder, but I have Crohn’s.) Also, if you have a lot of inflammation in other organs, I highly recommend only taking Tylenol as a pain reliever. Anything else will cause inflammation. Also, I know it’s hard, but staying away from sugar would help greatly as well.
Hey Brock I got my gallbladder taken out. There's still my danger foods the worst still for me is like Fresh orange or pineapple. I still one in a while get the pain and yes even without your gallbladder you can still gey attacks. If the pain happens get checked out. I definitely say gallstones is the worst pain ever. I have crohns disease and had my large colon removed. I have had hernia surgery. Gallstones still no1 fir pain. Brock listen to your body if your unsure about anything speak to your Dr and I don't mean Dr Google. Good luck if you go on your mission. Boston how are u keeping
I had my gallbladder out 2 years ago at thanksgiving at age 21. It is the worst pain ever and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I had one attack and emergency surgery the next day. Fortunately I felt much better after surgery. Fried foods give me a more bloated feel than before. I can’t really tell much difference in the speed of digestion. Overall I am glad mine is gone. If you are on a whole foods diet, you should be just fine. Hope my insight is helpful Brock!
Brock I feel like you would like homeopathic care. A doctor that delivers natural remedies that heal your body specifically catered to you and your lifestyle! Their goal is to make you as healthy as possible and offer preventative care(:
I had my gall bladder taken out...yes you should have done diet restrictions (no fried foods for sure!) I also find less issues if I stay dairy free! You'll figure out what you can and cant eat as time goes by, certain foods will just run right through you, nothing painful, just annoying!
I got mine out and before I wasn’t able to eat. Now dairy sometimes doesn’t sit right. Specifically ice cream. However after healed I didn’t realize how much having a bad gallbladder actually affected my life for the negative. So it’s a blessing it got taken out! Is it possible that some of your stomach inflammation could have to do with the parasites? Not a doctor or heard of that but it was just another ailment you went through so was curious if that was a possibility.
My husband almost died waiting to have his gallbladder removed because of complications from previous surgery a specialist had to do surgery. But his recovery was pretty good and he was told he could now eat whatever he desired within reason but wouldn’t have the same problems as before because it’s gone remove so all the food attacks go to. Personally I think you’re reading too much into what ifs. Just relax and go easy take it slow you will learn but you will not suffer that pain again. Good luck speedy recovery ❤️
I had mine out years ago. Food still goes through me faster than I would like but it has gotten better. Drink a lot of water eat more protein. Lettuce is the worst and MSG seasoning. That seems to give irritable bowel symptoms. Never had any gallstones after or appendix problems with it. I eat anything I want to.
If you get your appendix taken out will your plans rather if you go back on your mission or not and since your appendix inflamed why didn't they just go ahead and take it out since your high risk to get a appendicitis
Take probiotics! Like kombucha and fermented produce! Like sauerkraut. Sourdough bread is a good one. Try adding fresh minced ginger in tea with honey. You can cool it and make it iced tea. I hope you find stuff to give you some relief kiddo!
I just got my gallbladder taken out a couple days ago and had to go back the next morning cause I was passing out throughout the night and I turned completely yellow and turns out I was bleeding out and had half of my blood in my body in my abdomen so I had to go in for emergency surgery. I’m finally home now. I’ve been pretty sore and trying to figure out what foods are good to eat and what not. I am gluten free so if anyone has any foods they recommend or do not recommend eating I would appreciate it!
Hi Brock, I hope you're doing OK recommend to Rub castor oil on your stomach I know it sounds crazy but it works for a lot of things not just for hair and eat light things on meat and no spicey foods also no milk
How about have an early Christmas pretend it’s Christmas Day. I know it’s not the real day, but have the same sort of food? Present opening. Then when it is Christmas you may not feel as bad? Saying it and going thru it is so different and I wouldn’t know how I’d be.
I got my gallbladder out, and I did a "did a" fo map diet, and I started bringing stuff back into my diet to see what I could handle and what I should now eat, but if you try this bring foods back slowly
My mom had the same problem in June of this year she had to go to a hospital and wait 5 days for a surgery even though she was on the urgent surgeries list she wasn’t the most urgent one and in Ontario are healthcare staff employment is struggling right now so she took 5 days to get in as she kept getting pushed back in then she had to wait 2 days after surgery to recover but yes. Hers was removed aswell and be prepared it doesn’t happen to everyone but stuff in the future can be caused by gullstimes not as bad as gullible stones but my mom had something about a month after her surgery or so related to the stones
No fats or oily foods for me since getting my gallbladder out in 2009. Just be careful because certain foods need the gallbladder to process through your body and that is how i figured out what i could eat and what i couldn’t.
My dr gave me a prescription for colestipol to eat 1/2 hr before I ate. I couldn’t eat without it going straight through me before that. I am a year post op and off the medicine now. Every once in awhile I have issues. Start a food diary and see if there is a certain food that makes it worse. For me even with the medicine I couldn’t eat whole wheat. I can now but only once a day.
I had my out after going to many doctors and the last one sent me for a hydra scan - I did not have gall stones my gall bladder was only working at 2% - I didn’t fit the criteria to have that problem thin white woman was the reason it took so long to diagnose I was bad to normal after 2 weeks and I eat whatever I want Good luck to you
I just feel like if Brock leave again it's going to be weird or not seeing him in videos but he does decide to go back on his mission I'm happy for him either way
I had gallstones, they are painful in themselves & the surgery is not to be understated. It is PAINFUL, I ended up with an infection in my Gallbladder too so I had the whole thing removed. The Parasites is something that could be embarrassing & can be a sensitive thing to talk about. You’ve gone through a lot that’s for sure hopefully your on the mend. Time to look forward to the future😊
I just got my gallbladder taken out on the first of November and yes up to a year after getting your gallbladder removed you can have gallstones still which I found that out like right before my removal also lol
Smoothies and healthy foods veggies, fruit, lean meats is what I live off of now with no gallbladder. Do not eat hot foods or fried foods they make me so sick and it feels worse then a gallbladder attack
When I got my gallbladder out I had to make sure I ate something at least very 2-3 hours. A year later doing the same thing helps me ton. Best of luck too you!
Eat healthy and eat what feels good to your body. No pains after eating or after effects like some foods can cause if you know what I mean so find something that agrees with you and eat that and foods similar. Mine is chicken or soup. Hang in there Brock
ER nurse here! Your body will acclimate over the nwxt couple months after you get your gallbladder out and things wont go right through you anymore. Just takes time! Im shocked they didnt remove your appendix while they were already there and saw it was in inflamed! Pointless organ and can rupture at any time lol but they probably had their reasoning!
My brother went to the er for what was diagnosed as gallstone attack but they also found bladder cancer. They wanted him to have his gallbladder removed after a round of cancer treatments but he hasn’t yet. The gallstones haven’t bothered him since that 1st & only attack over 18mths ago.
Have you thought of doing a service or getting involved locally? It might be fulfilling and comforting knowing you’re close by but still get to serve your community.
