3. Structural Problems with the Gallbladder
Not all issues with the gallbladder, including the development of gallstones can be linked to dietary problems such as excessive consumption of cholesterol or alcohol. If the gallbladder has problems functioning, specifically with the emptying process, the result may be the development of gallstones.
One of the problems is that when the gallbladder does not empty normally, the bile that is inside the gallbladder as well as around it can become very concentrated. When this occurs, gallstones may occur.
The gallstones that are created when the bile becomes extremely concentrated can become very large. In fact, they often become large enough to block the entrance to the gallbladder. When this entryway becomes blocked it can lead to all sorts of health issues. This includes jaundice, pain, fever, as well as other serious health complications. If your gallbladder has structural issues, there is not much you can do to avoid gallstones. However, following a gallbladder diet is important to help maintain the gallbladder function.
