How does a gall stone migrate into the pancreas causing pancreatitis?
Gallstones are hard pieces of stone-like material that can form if your bile (digestive juices) has too much cholesterol in it. The gallbladder has one purpose only: to store bile, which helps digest fats in the small intestine. But bile can become concentrated and thicken. Eventually, bile salts can combine with cholesterol to form stones. These stones can block the flow of bile from the gallbladder; gallstones are composed of a combination of crystallized cholesterol deposits or calcium crystals ionized with bilirubin. This is typically manifested as pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. Sometimes a gallstone can move out of the gallbladder and block the openings (ducts) to the pancreas (ampulla of Vata.) It is thought that the blockage causes a disruption in the chemical reactions that occur within the pancreas. This could lead to the activation of trypsin inside the pancreas and trigger the process of inflammation
What form of cholesterol leads to cholesterol deposits on artery walls?
LDL, also known as the bad cholesterol, is what builds up in the arterial walls. This cholesterol will accumulate and constrict the blood vessels if not maintained with proper diet and lifestyle. The result could be a range of cardiovascular health issues.
Why does the cholesterol in the gallbladder harden and form gallstones?
Simply put, when the concentration of the cholesterol reaches a point where it can dissolve in the bile it will come out and harden, much like pouring sugar into a glass of water until it starts to collect at the bottom of the glass.

Can gallstones move to the left side?
Gallstones form in the gallbladder. Can they move around the body? Sure, they can move along your gastro-intestinal tract. Elsewhere in the body? No, of course not. They cannot pass through your organs into the rest of the body. There is a small duct from the gallbladder to the small intestines. Small stones can form in this area and grow in size over time, possibly forming a block that inhibits the gallbladder from secreting bile into your digestive tract. Yes, it is possible for small gallstones to move through this duct, into your intestines, into the colon, and out through your anus. Large gallstones will get stuck in this duct and cause severe pain, amongst other symptoms. This requires medical attention.
