The Relationship Between Bile and Digestive Health
Bile plays a crucial role in digestion, particularly in breaking down fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. When the gallbladder struggles to release bile efficiently, it impacts the stomach's ability to produce enough acid, leading to poor food breakdown. This inefficiency can result in gastrointestinal issues, as insufficient bile can prevent the sterilization and proper digestion of food in the small intestine. As a result, this cascade can exacerbate digestive disorders and lead to malabsorption of essential nutrients, affecting overall health.
