A member asked:
Can heavy daily alcohol use cause gallstones. or damage to the gallbladder. quit drinkin now gallbladder attacks afta fatty foods.did alcohol do this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : heavy alcohol use can damage your liver fist. The gallbladder is part of biliary system- same as liver. Alcohol can also trigger pancreatitis, that also can be triggered by gallstones. Fatty foods can trigger gallbladder pain. Basically, the point is that everything is related, and I highly recommend for you to stop drinking and eating fatty foods.
