A member asked:
What can i do if i have a non functioning gallbladder?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Liver sludge: The problem that caused gall stones is still there. Liver produces the bile which needs b6 as pyridoxal 5 phosphate and phosphatidyl choline. Once the bile flow normalizes pain will stop.

Symptoms?: No symptoms, should be safe to do nothing. If you have symptoms such as pain in the right upper abdomen, jaundice, or fatty food intolerance, then consultation with a general surgeon would be in order. The treatment is to remove the gallbladder (if you have symptoms).
