A member asked:
When before gallbladder sludge forms into gallstones or will it ever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: Gallbladder sludge can be related to not eating & dehydration & then resolve on its own. If the sludge is due to gallbladder dysfunction then it is unknown if gallstones may form over future years or not.
