Gallbladder disease

Bile is a substance that the gallbladder stores and transports to the small intestine during digestion. Bile helps in the digestion of lipids. Your chances of developing gallstones rise if you are obese. In biliary diseases, obesity and overweight have been known as major risk factors for gallstones.

Bile can accumulate and harden in the gallbladder, causing gallstones. Gallstones can develop in obese people because they may have large, inefficient gallbladders or higher cholesterol levels in their bile. Surgery may be necessary for gallstones, which can be painful. Gallstones may be avoided by eating a diet rich in fiber and good fats. One further help is to stay away from processed grains like white rice, bread, and pasta.
