The gall bladder is a pear-shaped organ on the right side of your body, attached to the under-side of the liver. The gall bladder stores bile secreted by the liver and when you eat fatty foods, it actually contracts and squirts bile into the digestive tract to facilitate the absorption of fats and fatty nutrients like vitamins A, D, E and K. Between meals the gall bladder is full and calm. During or after meals it is active and sometimes agitated, and it lets you know it, particularly after eating greasy foods.
Health at Home Nutrition's Gall Bladder Support Women and overweight individuals have more problems keeping their gall bladder healthy. Symptoms of indigestion, gas, fullness after meals, nausea and knife-like pain right in the middle of the trunk after meals are common signs of an unhealthy gall bladder.
The traditional alternative medicine "cure" for an unhealthy gall bladder is an olive oil flush, quite an uncomfortable practice, and should be considered an archaic practice of the past. Why not work on keeping your gall bladder healthy with dietary supplements? The amino acid taurine, malic acid, a natural component of pears, choline and inositol which promote the flow of fats and cholesterol, along with vitamin C and quercetin, a natural substance found in red apple peel and red onions, comprise an array of nutrients that are friendly to your gall bladder.
Dietary control is still important and the avoidance of greasy or fatty foods, alcohol, unfermented dairy products and refined sugars should be avoided. Tapioca pudding is an especially good dietary soother to the gall bladder. Fiber and water-rich fruits like peaches, grapes, pears, apricots and apples may be helpful.
