The gallbladder is a pear-shaped, muscular sac under the right lobe of the liver, in which bile, a digestive enzyme which is secreted by the liver is stored. Removal of the gallbladder due to fully inflamed gallstones in a surgical process is called cholecystectomy. This procedure, however, has been the only answer to an ongoing predicament in over 25 million Americans with gallstone problems as the delay of identifying the ailment can only be identified with an intense pain in the gall bladder area.

The taking away of the gall bladder, on the other hand, does not directly affect the storage of bile as a portion of the enzyme produced by the liver will speedily run its course into the small intestine. This issue promotes the public to resolve into an assumption that a gall bladder is not an essential part of the body as it is only a vessel for storing bile and doesn't have any great influence in digestion, according to Rahul Nayak, M.D., a gastroenterologist at Kaiser Permanente Atlanta via Men's Health.

Bile breaks down fat during a meal however since the life no longer has a vessel for storage due to the removal of the gall bladder than the ample quantities of the bile kick-started by eating could promote digestive problems. It is important to note that the bile that is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder is not the same as the bile that is secreted by the gallbladder. During the gallbladder storage of bile, it is concentrated by removal of some water and electrolytes.

Dr. Nayak also mentioned that to keep the gall bladder in a good operative condition these steps must be taken:

Proper diet which means a heart-healthy meal accompanied by exercising

Limit the intake of trans fatty acids that promotes a rigorous workload on your gallbladder

Prevent gallstone disease by consuming coffee increased vegetable-based protein consumption

Incidentally, the human body is no longer a sacred temple as the harvesting of gall bladder in the black market has been a filthy rich commodity which amounts to $ 1219, according to Gizmondo.
