Hi, A year ago I was having many GI problems.  14 weeks of diarrhea, pains and cramping. Had CT and MRI and upper GI and colonoscopy with biopsies.  Said I had growth on my gallbladder and lymphocystic colitis.  A month ago I went into hospital to have gallbladder removed, hiatal hernia fixed, and a fundoplication.  Could not find my gallbladder at first.  It ended up being further down on my small intestine, with no duct connections, and was the size of a thumb nail, full of stones and a lot of scarring.  The Gallbladder could not be removed! I was told it would take a liver specialist!   I am 58 yrs old female.  I think I need digestive enzymes as my food stays in my stomach for such a long time!  How has my body been digesting fat all my life?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. It is really rarity such ectopic gallbladder, but it is known anomaly. Gallbladder is organ important for storage of bile. It doesn't secrete any enzymes and there is no effect on digestion after this is removed because liver produces bile which goes into small intestines. You and have only pancreatic enzymes efficiency, but it has to be proved by some tests. Wish you good health. Regards
