Gallbladder problems are about much more than gallstones. In this episode of the Root Cause Revolution Podcast, Audrey Christie explains what the gallbladder actually does, why bile matters for digestion and elimination, and why digestive symptoms can continue even after gallbladder removal.

You’ll learn how the liver produces bile, how the gallbladder stores and concentrates it, and why bile is important for fat digestion, absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K, intestinal function, hormone metabolite elimination, and metabolic signaling.

Audrey also breaks down lesser-discussed gallbladder and bile-related patterns, including sludge, poor gallbladder emptying, altered bile flow, post-cholecystectomy diarrhea, fat intolerance, pale or greasy stools, bloating, reflux, urgency, and right-sided abdominal discomfort.

The episode also explores why gallbladder dysfunction may be connected to a larger metabolic pattern involving insulin resistance, weight cycling, rapid weight loss, diet quality, liver health, and digestive dysfunction.
