A member asked:
What does it mean to have a "full" gallbladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time for lunch: Your gallbladder naturally fills with bile until you eat something, then it empties the bile into your upper intestine to digest the fats. If it's not emptying over 40% it's probably diseased.
