Gallbladder/pancreas Posted: 05-10-05 21:03pm


I've just been reading previous posts and someone has mentioned that an untreated gallbladder problem may result in pancreas problems. Can anyone shed some more light on this? What sort of problems can happen and do they self-fix once the gb is removed?

They might be referring to pancreatitis which is inflammation of the pancreas that can be caused by gallstone(s) lodged in the pancreatic duct. When this happens the juices and enzymes become backed up and can attack the pancreas. I'm sure removing the gallbladder will help the problem if it hasn't gotten to a stage where problems like diabetes can occur.

Thanks...I had a small feeling that there might be more to it than that. Glad to hear there's not.
