Question 1

what causes green bile?

Accepted Answer

Chemical properties: Biliverdin is a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, and is a product of heme/redcell breadown. Biliverdin is further broken down to bilirubin for easier excretion to the outside world (also into urobilinogen in urine-as mild yellow). This compound absorbs green light, thus appears green to your eyes! (put in dard room=brown/black). I think u maybe asking why u threw up green? Consult doc. Good luck.

Question 2

what is the cause of bile?

Accepted Answer

I don't understand: Your question doesn't make sense.  Bile is a normal substance made in your body to dissolve fats from your food.  So "cause of bile" doesn't make any sense.

Question 3

how exactly is bile formed?

Accepted Answer

Bile: Bile is manufactured in the liver and then stored in the gall bladder where it is secreted into the upper intestinal tract after a fatty meal. The meal releases a hormone, cholecystokinin, which stimulates gall bladder contraction thereby secreting the bile. When the gall bladder has been removed, the liver can release  Bile through the biliary ducts directly into the digestive tract.

Question 4

what are the functions of bile?

Accepted Answer

Fat metabolism: Fat transport/metabolism/ keeps lipids in a soluble form.

Question 5

what the sotable food to bile stoons?

Accepted Answer

No food will : Make stones go away.  But if you eat fatty or fried foods, you will have pain.  This is because the gallbladder will contract vigorously. And the stones will get stuck in the neck of the gallbladder.  This causes biliary colic, it is painful.  If the stone remains stuck and gallbladder gets infected, you will have acute cholecystitis.  This can become a surgical emergency.

Question 6

i have black bile. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

What do YOU mean?: More information, please. You can't see your own bile, assuming you haven't had surgery with placement of a drainage tube into your gall bladder or biliary system.

Question 7

why do i bring up bile a few times a month?

Accepted Answer

Explain further: Do you mean you get a small amount of green bilious materail with a sour bitter taste in the back of your mouth a few times a month or do you actually vomit this up?  This could be just gerd or it could be something more serious.  I strongly suggest that you see a gastroenterologist in your area asap.

Question 8

what is the definition or description of: bile?

Accepted Answer

Produced by liver: Dark green to yellowish brown fluid, produced by the liver for digestion of fats in the small intestine.

Question 9

is it possible for the body to increase the rate at which it releases bile?

Accepted Answer

To some degree: Certain foods are known to stimulate the secretion of bile into the intestines.  Generally fatty foods will stimulate this response.  If your body did not do this, the fats in your diet would pass through your intestines undigested, resulting in diarrhea, bloating, and gas.

Question 10

why would my body produce excess bile? can excess bile be associated withgerd?

Accepted Answer

It wouldn't and no.: Bile is the product of liver cells, is stored in the gallbladder and is released into the duoenum downstream from the stomach.  Bodies do not produce excess bile and gerd does not stimulate bile release.  The acid that comes up into your esophagus with gerd is manufactured in the stomach and does not contain bile.
