Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After surgical removal of an infected gallbladder, a person must be especially careful to restrict dietary intake of ____
A
starch
B
protein
C
sugar
D
fat
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a gall bladder is removed the bile directly enters the intestine when produced. Eating fat food could increase its production. Bile acts as a natural laxative. Hence its best to reduce fat containing food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Removal of the gallbladder will severely inhibit the digestion and absorption of fats (triglycerides, cholesterols, phospholipids) and other fat-soluble substances. The gallbladder stores and secrete bile. Without bile the there is no formation of mixed micelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The gallbladder releases the bile juice into the small intestine whenever food reaches there. Though bile juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be digested easily because they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gallbladder stores bile, a thick liquid that’s produced by the liver to help us digest fat. When we eat, the gallbladder’s thin, muscular lining squeezes bile into the small intestine through the main bile duct. The more fat we eat, the more bile the gallbladder injects into the digestive tract.
