What causes gall stone and is it in gall bladder?

Gall stones are indeed inside the gall bladder. They are buildups of cholesterol that over time bind together and form small 'stones' the size of small pebbles. About 60% of adults have gall stones and don't even know it. When fatty foods are eaten, the gall bladder contracts and squirts bile into the small intestine to aid in digestion. A person does not need to have a high cholesterol level to have gall stones. Sometimes, as the gall bladder contracts to squirt bile, a stone obstructs the small tube that goes from the gall bladder to the intestines. This is what causes the pain associated with gall bladder trouble. Many people will experience gall bladder pain once and never get the symptoms again in their lives. The only time for any real concern is if a person gets a fever and chills at the same time as gall bladder pain, as this can indicate an infection. Then a visit to the ER is in order. Gall Bladder pain is generally a gnawing pain just under the lower right ribs. It tends to last from 1 to 2 hours and occurs after having eaten.
