Gallbladder Disease

Gallbladder disease includes gallstones and inflammation or infection of the gallbladder. Gallstones are clusters of solid material that form in the gallbladder. These clusters consist of mostly of cholesterol and can cause abdominal pain, especially after consuming fatty foods. The pain may be sharp or dull.
Overweight people have a higher risk for developing gallbladder disease. Overweight people may produce more cholesterol, a fatty substance found in the body, and heighten the risk for gallstones. Sometimes overweight people may have an enlarged gallbladder, which may not work properly.
Fast weight loss of more than three pounds per week or large weight loss can actually increase the chance of developing gallstones. Modest, slow weight loss of about one half to two pounds a week is less likely to cause gallstones. Achieving a healthy weight may lower the risk for developing gallstones.
