More about Gallstones and the Complications Caused by Gallstones

Gallstones are not stones in real sense but rather a solid or pieces of solid or lumpy physical structures that may form inside the gallbladder during the process of concentration of bile. These stones are not something that can be retained. Since the gallstones cannot be removed, the entire gallbladder removal surgery is performed. The gallbladder removal surgery prevents further complications.

The Production and Flow of Bile into the Gallbladder

Bile is continuously secreted by the liver. Every day about 800 – 1000 ml of bile is secreted by the liver. There is a duct that runs from the liver to the duodenum that transports the bile produced. But there is a branch in that duct also that diverts into the Gallbladder. Gallbladder is the place where the bile, a potent digestive juice produced by the liver is stored in a very concentrated form. So the bile secreted by the liver can flow either way into any of the two ducts.

Bile is not always transported to gallbladder after production. Whenever a meal is consumed, the bile produced by the liver at that point directly flows into the duodenum of the small intestine.

But when there is no meal consumed (during fasting or in the interval between two meals), the bile continuously secreted by the liver does not flow into the duodenum. Instead, it flows into the Gallbladder. This bile is converted to a concentrated form. To get converted into a concentrated form, the bile is removed of its water content.

With most parents working from home, schools and daycares closed down and with no peers to play with, kids are left with not much to do. So most kids are either glued to TV screens or playing games on their smartphones. This is not healthy and can be bad for their overall wellbeing.
