8) Long-standing diarrhea
The primary function of the gallbladder is to emulsify the fatty portion of the meal, easing up the digestion of fats. Long-standing gallstone problems might lead to chronic diarrhea when there’s an insufficient release of bile to the intestines, and the absorption of the fatty portion of the meal becomes inadequate.
The excess fat starts running through the large intestines, it won’t get digested properly and starts increasing the bulk of the stools. Additional water might start to get dragged into the large intestine, especially in the event of sugary foods, and this adds up to the diarrhea. We have to mention this diarrhea often feels greasy and fatty due to the incorrect absorption of fats.
