For your consultation please have the following
information available if possible:
Any gallbladder test results
A brief history of your gallbladder problem
A list of your current symptoms
For an assessment of your diet, you will
also need a three-day dietary intake that includes everything you have had to eat or drink including meals, drinks
and snacks.
Gallbladder disease often has other problems
occuring along with it. Many of these are not separate issues but are intertwined. Either they are contributing
to the gallbladder disease or are actually part of the underlying cause. For example, since hydrochloric acid is
a contributor to optimal gallbladder emptying, many gallbladder patients have low hydrochloric acid along with
their gallbladder issue. And hydrochloric acid is accompanied by its own set of symptoms that may contribute to the discomfort of the gallbladder problem. Low HCl may definitely be a contributing
cause to the problem. But low thyroid could be the underlying cause of both the low HCl and the gallbladder problem.
Wrong diet is an contributor to gallbladder
disease. Fats are well-known by most people to be a problem for the gallbladder but not so well-known is that food
allergies can be a major contributor. See an in-depth list of causes of gallbladder disease.
What is often not considered at all is hypothyroidism
which has also been shown to be an underlying contributing factor to proper gallbladder function. We have found
many of our gallbladder patients to have a concurrent thyroid problem, known or unknown, which is why we have started
doing testing ourselves. Even if you've had your thyroid checked and been told it's not a problem, consider looking
at it from a "functional" rather than a "pathological" viewpoint. (Watch the video below for
more explanation on the difference.)
What we do is assess your laboratory findings from a functional
rather than a pathological perspective. This is a tighter range that looks at
optimal healthy ranges rather than diseased ranges. Our hope is to catch the thyroid problem before you spend years on antidepressants or spend thousands on diet fads to lose weight.
According to the work of Datis Kharrizian, there are at least 8 different patterns of thyroid diease and only two of them
are found by the standard lab reference ranges.

well.
If everything is not complete, we will need to send the forms back to you which may delay your appointment. When
all your information is has been received, Heidi will call you to schedule your first appointment which will happen
before the blood work is ordered.
If more tests are needed beyond the list

tests but blood tests for the purpose of assessing your total health.

HOW MUCH TIME
SHOULD I SCHEDULE?
The 10 minute

particular situation or what to do next. It is also used for follow-ups after blood work consultations have been
completed.
The 30 and 60 minute will get into more detail about your history and
overall symptoms. Please fill out the two assessment forms and email them back with a medical history. Talk to
our office for more details please. Some people want lots of time to go over diet. Please specify your needs when
you make the appointment so that we can schedule the right pratitioner for you.
