Biliary tract disease is any pathology affecting this duct (usually an obstruction caused by a stone called cholelithiasis). It is a very common condition affecting females, who are overweight and in their 40s who have a high-fat diet with inadequate water intake.

Why biliary tract disease should avoid fatty food?
The liver pumps bile through the biliary tract. This mixture of compounds acts as a detergent, separating ingested fats into small globules with large surface area, so they can be digested more easily.When the body detects large amounts of fats entering the body, a large amount of bile is excreted. If the biliary ducts (or liver or gall bladder, etc.) are inflamed or damaged, this can cause pain or even damage.

Further medical evaluation is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
