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.

What is the mechanism of the bile esculin test?

The bile esculin test is used to identify bacteria that can hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile. In this test, bile salts inhibit the growth of most Gram-positive bacteria, while Enterococcus and some Streptococcus species can survive and utilize esculin, breaking it down to produce glucose and esculetin. The esculetin then reacts with iron salts in the medium, resulting in a dark brown or black precipitate, indicating a positive result. This reaction helps differentiate these bacteria from others that do not have this capability.

What happens when you take the gallbladder out where does the fat go?

The gallbladder is a small organ which stores bile. Bile is constantly being produced in the liver. The liver releases some of the bile it produces directly into the intestine and stores the rest temporarily in the gallbladder. The gallbladder releases this stored bile when an additional amount of bile would be helpful in the digestion of foods, such as when a person eats a meal that contains a large amount of fats.

This extra release of bile is helpful, but not necessary. Upon removal of the gallbladder the liver will eventually increase it's production of bile to compensate. However, between the time the gallbladder is removed and the liver has time to readjust, there might not be sufficient bile available to digest all the fats passing through the intestine. The fat the body is not able to completely breakdown will simply pass though the intestine and be eliminated during defecation. This may cause diarrhea or bloating in some people as the undigested fat will draw water into the intestine and also facilitate the growth of intestinal bacteria. Eating a lower-fat diet in the days following surgery will help prevent this.
