Need gb challenge: CCK availability has been scarce recently. Certain fatty meals have been compared to CCK and validated in literature.You do need a challenge; I use Boost kids essential formula as a fatty meal substitute in my pediatric patientsi There probably is adult substitute. This allows evauation of contraction of gall bladder which helps diagnose dyskinesia and chronic gall bladder disease
