People who maintain a healthy weight are less likely to develop gallstones, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). But when it comes to gallstones, there's a catch. Someone who is already overweight and who quickly loses weight, especially through severe calorie restriction, is actually increasing their risk of gallstones. What are gallstones What are gallstones exactly? Basically, they're clusters of solid materials, mostly cholesterol (Read about " Cholesterol "), that form in the gallbladder, an organ that lies beneath the liver and stores a substance called bile that helps with digestion. Bile helps to break down fat and eliminate excess cholesterol, according to NIDDK. But if the bile gets too saturated with cholesterol, gallstones can form. According to the American Gastroenterological Association, gallstone disease affects 10 to 15 percent of the population of the United States or more than 25 million people, although most are unaware of it because they have what's called "silent" gallstones which produce no symptoms.

They will join an estimated 20 million Americans, approximately 10% of the population, who have gallstones. Gallstones form within the gallbladder. Cholecystec-tomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, is the most common surgical procedure performed in the United States. Approxi-mately 500,000 persons will undergo surgery to remove their gallbladder this year simply because of gallstones.

    Extractions: Go Back Nutrition for a Living Planet - Home Page Gallstones Gallstones form when liquid stored in the gallbladder hardens into pieces of stone-like material. The liquid, called bile, is used to help the body digest fats. Bile is made in the liver, then stored in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fat. At that time, the gallbladder contracts and pushes the bile into a tube-called a duct-that carries it to the small intestine, where it helps with digestion. Bile contains water, cholesterol , fats, bile salts, and bilirubin. Bile salts break up fat, and bilirubin gives bile and stool a brownish color. If the liquid bile contains too much cholesterol, bile salts, or bilirubin, it can harden into stones. The two types of gallstones are cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Cholesterol stones are usually yellow-green and are made primarily of hardened cholesterol. They account for about 80 percent of gallstones. Pigment stones are small, dark stones made of bilirubin. Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder can develop just one large stone, hundreds of tiny stones, or almost any combination. Gallstones can block the normal flow of bile if they lodge in any of the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. That includes the hepatic ducts, which carry bile out of the liver; the cystic duct, which takes bile to and from the gallbladder; and the common bile duct, which takes bile from the cystic and hepatic ducts to the small intestine. Bile trapped in these ducts can cause inflammation in the gallbladder, the ducts, or, rarely, the liver. Other ducts open into the common bile duct, including the pancreatic duct, which carries digestive enzymes out of the pancreas. If a gallstone blocks the opening to that duct, digestive enzymes can become trapped in the pancreas and cause an extremely painful inflammation called pancreatitis.

    Extractions: Facility Information DeWitt Comm Hosp Genesis Medical Ctr Illini Hospital Genesis Health Grp VNA A gallstone is a solid crystal deposit that forms in the gallbladder, which is a pear-shaped organ that stores bile salts until they are needed to help digest fatty foods. Gallstones can migrate to other parts of the digestive tract and cause severe pain with life-threatening complications. Gallstones vary in size and chemical structure. A gallstone may be as tiny as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. Eighty percent of gallstones are composed of cholesterol. They are formed when the liver produces more cholesterol than digestive juices can liquefy. The remaining 20% of gallstones are composed of calcium and an orange-yellow waste product called bilirubin. Bilirubin gives urine its characteristic color and sometimes causes jaundice Gallstones are the most common of all gallbladder problems. They are responsible for 90% of gallbladder and bile duct disease, and are the fifth most common reason for hospitalization of adults in the United States. Gallstones usually develop in adults between the ages of 20 and 50; about 20% of patients with gallstones are over 40. The risk of developing gallstones increases with ageat least 20% of people over 60 have a single large stone or as many as several thousand smaller ones. The gender ratio of gallstone patients changes with age. Young women are between two and six times more likely to develop gallstones than men in the same age group. In patients over 50, the condition affects men and women with equal frequency. Native Americans develop gallstones more often than any other segment of the population; Mexican-Americans have the second-highest incidence of this disease.

    Extractions: In medicine gallstones are crystalline bodies formed within the body by accretion or concretion of normal or abnormal bile components. Cholesterol stones are usually white or yellow in color and account for about 80 percent of gallstones. They are made primarily of cholesterol. Pigment stones are small, dark stones made of bilirubin and calcium salts that are found in bile. They account for the other 20 percent of gallstones. Risk factors for pigment stones include cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and hereditary blood cell disorders, such as sickle cell anemia. Stones of mixed origin also occur. Gallstones can occur anywhere within the biliary tree , including the gallbladder and the common bile duct . Obstruction of the common bile duct is choledocholithiasis ; obstruction of the biliary tree can cause jaundice ; obstruction of the outlet of the pancreatic exocrine system can cause pancreatitis Cholelithiasis is the presence of stones in the gallbladder chole- means "gall bladder"

    Today s Question. Getting Rid of gallstones? Is there a nonsurgical method of eliminating gallstones? Renny. Most gallstones don’t cause problems.  
    http://www.drweil.com/app/cda/drw_cda.html-command=TodayQA-questionId=309119
    
    Extractions: Today's Answer (Published 10/28/2003) Most gallstones don’t cause problems. But if they get stuck while trying to pass from the gallbladder (where they form) to the small intestine, they can cause intense pain and, sometimes, nausea and vomiting. Surgery to remove the gallbladder usually is recommended if attacks become frequent and intense. Fortunately, today’s surgery, a procedure called laparascopic cholecystectomy, is a lot easier on patients than the operation of the past, which involved making a big incision in the abdomen. Now surgeons make several small incisions through which they insert their instruments and a small video camera in order to view, detach and remove the gallbladder. Because no abdominal muscles are cut, there is less pain, faster recovery and fewer scars than with the old operation. Most patients recover within days. Patients who can’t tolerate, or want to avoid, surgery may be offered two other options: drugs to dissolve the gallstones or a procedure to fragment them with sound waves.
