Possible: "Bile" is made by the liver and contained in the gallbladder. It helps digest and absorb fat, and is released into the intestine when you eat fatty foods. Gallstones can block the flow of bile and the subsequent build-up of pressure can cause severe pain. In addition, gallstones can indicate a problem with the liver, which may further cause difficulty in fat digestion.
