I fixed an appointment with a naturopath to help me with my diet.
I
first want to meet with my family doctor to get all the test
reports
off him (blood reports, radiographies, etc.) and bring them to
the
naturopath in case there are things in those reports that he and
I
should know.


I briefly talked with him over the phone today to set up an
appointment. I asked him if it is possible that my pot belly is
made
more of water than fat. I know about "gut leak", but did not want
to
mention the term yet. I just wanted to test his knowledge. He
seemed
surprised with my questions and just said, "That's fat. That's
fat".
Should I call another naturopath?


How should I prepare to face the naturopath? THanks.


So you think that you have a leak in your intestines that is
causing
your abdomen to fill with fluid?

This "gut leak" stuff sounds like something made up by unscientific
people, sort of like the Chiropractors that claim all disease is
due
to misalignments of spine.

Sorry, I am skeptical about the whole concept.

I'm seeing my doctor next week. I read that an ultrasound should
tell
me if it is water or fat in belly. As he already took one a few
months
back, I will ask him to analyse the ultrasound report he has.


The condition is called Ascites.
