This is so damn good. I maked these, poor gally <3
Poor gally indeed, why does this comic make me feel bad for a gall bladder :c
Stones travel via the cystic duct into the common bile duct having no interaction with the liver. I mean that can block shit up and restrict outflow from the liver but this comic is physiologically incorrect. I’m great at parties
also, livers can't talk
I knew there was something off about this comic
It doesn't refer to the interaction of liver with stones. The bile acids are produced in liver then transported to the gallbladder, where they are stored and released into the intestine when needed. The whole role of gallbladder is to accept and release the bile salts, the "stuff that liver makes". But then sometimes gallbladder makes stones and it has to be removed because of it.
Go to the hospital because it feels like there is a knife twisting inside me. Find out I'm allergic to opiates. 6 months of testing, barium swallow, all the scans. Finally, HIDA scan. Yeah, your gall bladder is just fucked up and malformed. Have a good life! We're not taking it out.
Wouldn't that be why the liver doesn't want anything to do with the gallbladder and the stones it maked though?
I feel that I'd probably like you at parties
They took out my gallbladder because of stones. No place to store the bile now. Without a gallbladder, the bile enters the intestine in a fairly random way. In some people, that bile acts as a powerful laxative. Unfortunately, I'm in that group. I have challenges now. I miss my gallbladder. Stupid gallbladder.
My GI doctor prescribed me Colesevelam for that. It's a cholesterol drug but it's used off-label for treating post-cholecystectomy diarrhea. Looks like cholestyramine is also used for that. Worth asking your doctor about. It worked for me after we dialed in the dosage.
Me with my kidneys
Was in the hospital over Thanksgiving a great years back cause of gallstones. Morphine good.
Life without a gallbladder isn't terrible for me.
