Patients whose gallbladder are removed are recommended to eat less oily food. Why?
Answer:
- Gallbladder is responsible for storing bile .
- Bile is a digestive juice which helps in emulsification of fats and lipids .
- In the absence of stored bile, emulsification of fats will be negatively affected .
- Thus fat digestion will be slow .
- Hence there are diet restrictions placed on the patient.
