Are You At Risk For Gallstones? What is the connection
between Foods,Weight, and Gallstones?
There are somewhere between 16 and 22 million people walking
around America with gallstones. Most do not know they have
them. Usually they are painless.
They vary in size and are solid masses or clusters that have
formed inside the gallbladder. The gallbladder is located
beneath the liver and on the right side of the abdomen.
The purpose of the gallbladder is to aid in digestion by
producing bile. During the process of digestion the gallbladder
releases this bile into the intestine.
The bile itself is a combination of water, cholesterol and
bile salts, fats, proteins and bilirubin. Eating certain foods
can actually tell us that we are having a gallbladder
problem.
