Cholecystokinin deficiency

[Guest guest]

>>>CCK (cholecystokinin) is the hormone responsible for gall bladder

contraction. The bulk of this hormone is produced in the duodenum.<<<

Does anyone know anything about Cholecystokinin deficiency? What are

the symptoms? How is it diagnosed? What are the treatments?

Kelli, You use to be able to buy CCK without a prescription, but

I haven't seen it for sale for some time now. I would caution you

about using that supplement, at least using it without the use

of plenty of bicarbonates, or using it when or if you child is

dehydrated.

'Cholecystokinin (CCK) is released from intestinal epithelium in

response to fats, and causes the release of bile from the gall bladder

and lipase (a fat digesting enzyme) from the pancreas.'
