The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ situated just under the liver. It collects and stores bile from the liver. Problems that can affect the gallbladder include gallstones and cancer, but dietary choices may help prevent these.Research suggests that people who follow a healthful diet have a lower risk of gallbladder disease.Knowing what foods to choose and which ones to avoid may help the gallbladder stay healthy, especially for people who have already experienced gallstones or other gallbladder problems.There is no specific diet for a healthy gallbladder, but following some guidelines can help keep the gallbladder healthy and functioning well.The gallbladder plays a part in the digestion of food. It collects and stores bile, then releases the bile into the small intestine when food enters the small intestine from the stomach. This helps with the digestion of food because the gallbladder contains bile salts (and other substances) which break down fat.The bile duct which connects the gallbladder to the small intestine can become blocked by gallstones. This may cause symptoms such as pain, bloating, a feeling of sickness (nausea), and being sick (vomiting). The stone may cause a blockage and make it difficult for the bile to be released from the bile duct.The most common gallbladder problem is gallstones. It's estimated that 20 million Americans suffer from gallstones with one million developing the condition every year. Gallstones are thought to occur in 95% of patients with gallbladder inflammation and pain. People with gallstones may not experience any symptoms, or they may have periods of intense abdominal pain that travels to the upper back.There are a number of risk factors that lead to gallstone formation, including age, a family history of gallstones, sex (women are twice as likely to develop gallstones as men), excess weight (and conversely, rapid weight loss), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, Crohn's disease, and constipation.The Standard American Diet (SAD) or Western diet is another major factor in the development of gallstones, which form as a result of bile becoming saturated with cholesterol. American or Western diets are particularly high in cholesterol and fat and low in dietary fiber. Fat and cholesterol will both play a role in gallstone formation.The best approach in the prevention and treatment of gallstones is to remove the foods that cause them, including high-fat food and high-cholesterol foods. It's also a good idea to remove known food allergies and sensitivities from the diet, decrease consumption of animal proteins and refined carbohydrates, and increase your fiber intake through vegetables. As a result, you will see gradual weight loss. When you lose weight too quickly, the liver may release more cholesterol into bile, interfering with the balance of bile salts and cholesterol, which can lead to the formation of gallstones.
