Gallbladder Disease

The gallbladder sits within the right upper abdomen. On occasion, gallstones will form in the gallbladder. At other times, the gallbladder just does not contract properly. Ingested fat stimulates the gallbladder to contract more than with non-fat foods and this may produce discomfort when the gallbladder is diseased. This contraction could increase the possibility of pushing small gallstones out into the main bile duct causing serious problems. In either case, a reduction in fats and oils is recommended.
