What's the difference between acid reflux or a lack of a gallbladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A lot!: Acid reflux refers to acid washing out of the stomach backwards into the esophagus. This can cause heartburn and barrett's esophagus. The gall bladder stores bile, and releases it to help digest fatty foods. It is located between the liver and the duodenum and empties into the GI tract after the stomach. If stones plug it up, it may need to be removed. No gallbladder is safe than acid reflux.
