It is called a gallstone. When food is consumed our body secretes a fluid from our liver, which is called bile. Bile helps in the breakdown of foods in our alimentary canal (digestive system). Our gallbladder is, normally, under the liver and holds the bile until it is ready to help with digestion. Sometimes when it sits in the gallbladder it can harden (crystallize), like a rock. It then can obstruct a bile duct and is very painful. Some people feel the pain radiate to their back. Look up gallstone.
