We all have a gallbladder but most of us do not spend much time thinking about it. Those that do are probably among the 25 million or so Americans who suffer from gallstones. The pear-shaped gallbladder sits below the liver in the upper right-hand corner of the abdomen. It is connected to the liver and to the small intestine by several tubes called bile ducts. Its purpose is to store bile, a liquid which is produced by the liver that helps us digest fat. After a meal, the gallbladder contracts and sends bile into the intestine. Once a meal has been digested, the gallbladder stops sending bile and returns to its old job of storing up bile for our next steak dinner. What is a Gallstone?

For Patients Health Prose: A One-Minute Update for Your Health Gallstones: Common yet Painful University of Iowa Health Science Relations First Published: November 2000 Last Revised: December 2003 Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed After a meal, while watching television, suddenly you feel a stabbing pain below your rib cage. This isn't the first time. Eventually, you find out your pain was caused by gallstones. Gallstones are a major health problem. About 20 million people in the United States have them and one million new cases are diagnosed each year. "Gallstones are the fifth leading cause of hospitalization," says Dr. Jeffrey Field, professor of internal medicine at the UI College of Medicine and gastroenterologist at UI Hospitals and Clinics. The gallbladder is a small muscular sac located under the liver that stores bile secreted by the liver. Bile helps you digest fats. At the turn of the century, physicians believed gallstones were always the result of a diseased gallbladder. Today they realize that gallstones, most of which are composed mainly of cholesterol, are primarily caused by a disturbance in cholesterol metabolism within the liver. "There is too much cholesterol relative to the amount of other lipids in the bile," Field says. Cholesterol crystals then form in the bile and grow into larger stones. Many people can live for years without knowing they have gallstones. Pain below the breastbone or right rib cage, called biliary colic, is usually the first symptom. "It's a sharp, boring, intense pain that can radiate around to the back. The gallbladder is trying to contract, but the opening into the cystic duct is blocked," Field says. Nausea, vomiting, and fever can accompany an attack, which can last several hours. Any foodsbut particularly fatty foodscan precipitate an attack. Obesity, pregnancy, diabetes, prolonged fasting, cystic fibrosis, certain medications, or a high-calorie diet can increase your chances of developing gallstones. The condition becomes more common as you age.
