gall bladderThe gall bladder is an essential part of digestion. This organ allows you to digest fatty foods through the use of bile. The gall bladder is located near the liver, and can grow sensitive after eating meals that are high in fat. There are many gall bladder symptoms, and if they are chronic or persistent, you should seek medical attention to determine if it is likely to be gall stones, a common and painful ailment.

Symptoms of gall stones include the following: nausea and vomiting proceeding the consumption of a meal high in fat. Pains in the abdomen, as well as excessive gas are also common symptoms after eating a fatty meal. Foods high in fats irritate a sensitive gall bladder, as this organ aids in the digestion of fat. These pains can last anywhere from six hours to eighteen hours after they first begin. The pain will be located in your side or around your shoulder blade, and can be especially painful after taking a deep breath. The vomiting and nausea usually coincide with heartburn, and again, occur after eating specific foods. These pains will be lengthy and intense. Talk to your doctor if you think it is your gall bladder.
