BEYOND GALLBLADDER
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 also a 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 such as gluten and dairy. For Array 3 – Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity, as outlined
on GLUTEN TESTING, please call our number below. The cost of the test
is $325 plus consultation fees to go over the test with you. See an in-depth list of other 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.
