The gallbladder contracts to release bile when fatty foods are eaten. This is normal physiology. However, it can spasm due to gallstones.
Excess bile or incomplete metabolism can cause irritation, pain and green/yellow stools. Flatulence and gas typically is caused from an imbalance in microflora (not enough friendly bacteria), incomplete food breakdown (inadequate enzymes or stomach acid) or a reaction to food sensitivities. Find a trained health care practitioner who can help you identify the cause of what's happening.
Good luck! Dr. Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician
