Dr. Amy Nett: I think we talked about that one, actually, on the first or second Q&A session we did. Think about the gallbladder in terms of its function. It’s helping with bile storage, so fat digestion and absorption. If you can, go back and listen to that one because we went over that in kind of a lot of detail. It depends on what their symptoms are. If they don’t have any symptoms, you might not need to supplement. You might just have them use different types of fat, lower fats, but a lot of our patients who have had their gallbladder removed, they don’t need any specific supplements. If they really struggle with fats, we might do ox bile or lipase. If they really, really, really struggle with fats, we might have them do more of the medium-chain triglycerides because those are absorbed higher up in the intestine, but again, I think we covered that in detail previously. If we didn’t, then resubmit the question, and I will go over it in exhausting detail again.
