The gallbladder's primary function is to help with fat digestion. Bile and bile acids are stored and concentrated in them. When fat-containing food enters the small intestine, Cholecystokinin, a hormone generated in the intestinal wall, stimulates Cholecystokinin to transport to the gallbladder. This hormone stimulates the gallbladder to contract, allowing bile to flow into the common bile duct and the intestines. Bile aids in fat digestion and breakdown.
Inflammation: Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder. Long-term, it can cause gallbladder damage, resulting in an inability to operate correctly.
Gallstones: Gallstones are hard deposits that develop in the gallbladder. Gallstones can form and go undiagnosed for extended periods, even years. Gallstones are not detected until they create health concerns, most commonly discomfort and/or infection.
Every year, between 750,000 and 1,000,000 gallbladder operations are performed to remove the gallbladder. In certain situations, gallbladder surgery is required to preserve a person's life. The great majority of these operations, however, are needless and might have been prevented via dietary modifications, exercise, and nutritional supplements that support the gallbladder.
