If your gallbladder is removed where is the bile stored? Does your body work without it?

The removal of gallbladder does not cause long term
problems. After surgery, the liver continues to produce bile, but the bile passes
through the common bile duct it flows directly into the small
intestine.

The patient continues to eat normally. Because
bile is secreted more frequently than normal, the faeces can become liquid. If the
problem persists, the diet have to be changed. The first step is the avoiding of fatty
foods. Also, an additional dietary fiber intake could be
beneficial.

In addition, cholestyramine helps the bile to
be absorbed by the intestine and it reduces unpleasant
symptoms.
