‘A’ got her gall bladder removed surgically as she was diagnosed with stones in her gall bladder. After the surgery, she faced problems in digestion of certain food items when consumed in bulk. Can you tell which kind of food items would they be and why?


Gallbladder is a small sac like structure which stores and concentrates the bile juice produced by the liver. This bile produced helps in the emulsification of fats i.e. breakdown of complex fat molecules into smaller particles. The gall bladder stores the bile and uses it when needed but now as it is surgically removed there is no place for bile storage and hence when this person eats food containing large amount of fat she faces problems with digestion.
