Gallstones are hard deposits in the gallbladder which can get stuck in the bile ducts. The gallbladder processes bile, which helps the body to digest fats. Gallstones form when bile does not process cholesterol and other undigested substances in your gallbladder which cause them to harden and block bile ducts. Gallstones could be a sign of excess toxins in your system, and that your gallbladder is not functioning properly. Gallstones can block the ducts that transport the bile from the gallbladder to the intestines, causing inflammation and pain. Abnormally high levels of bilirubin in the gallbladder is another reason for the formation of gallstones.
