Gallbladders and Bile
Bile is produced in the liver, stored and concentrated in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine. Bile emulsifies the lipids in fatty food and makes it easier to digest. Unfortunately, the gallbladder can develop gallstones which can be tiny grains or as big as golf balls. Some cause no trouble but others may become life threatening.

This creates a dumping effect, rather than the normal and repetitive squeezing and release which a galbladder does.
A medication of bile salts taken at meals often helps remove the stress on an aging or diseased galbladder. urisodiol is one such med. It has some side effects. For example, you must learn how much med effectively helps digest the amount of fats in foods. So, if you eat too much fatty food in one meal, the galbladder pain can be as severe as if no med was taken.

Ask your doctor about trying bile salt medication before deciding to have surgery. The med has a brand name version and a generic and one is usually covered by insurance.
