ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The individual is not digesting fats well, because the sphincter at the bottom of the stomach is not allowing bile to pass into the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -As fat digestion requires numerous enzymes, various conditions can affect this process and, as a result, absorption. Liver disorders, small bowel syndrome, and problems with the small intestine can make it more difficult for the body to digest and absorb fat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bile passes out of the liver through the bile ducts and is stored in the gallbladder. After a meal, it is released into the small intestine. When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing level of bilirubin in the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fat malabsorption Fats that aren’t absorbed in your small intestine pass to your colon, causing fatty stools (steatorrhea). Fatty stools are greasy and runny and particularly smelly. They may be light-colored and float. Fat malabsorption also leads to the malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K).

Detailed explanation-5: -If the bile duct is blocked the bile will be produced from the liver but it will fail to reach the duodenum of the small intestine. Bile is responsible for the emulsification of fats where large fat globules are converted to small globules.
