I've never heard of a bile acid urine test (not to say that it doesn't exist) but I've only ever heard of the blood test.
Yes, there is a 12 hour FAST involved. I just be sure to get mine scheduled for first thing in the am. Nothing to eat after 8 pm or before 8 am isn't too terribly hard. Or didn't seem to be on Lucy. She was barely up and out of bed before it was time to go. |
I think it's a relatively new way of performing a blie acid test.
You are right, it doesn't sound too bad of a fast, especially if scheduled in the morning.
