Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Based on what you have said, you are having gallbladder problems.

The gallbladder stores bile. This fluid is produced in the liver and used in the small intestine to digest fat. Bile contains cholesterol, water, bilirubin, and bile salts.

Gallbladder sludge happens when the gallbladder doesn't rid itself of this matter, and a build-up occurs, causing your symptoms. It is usually found through an ultrasound which is what happened in your situation.

You may need to be checked for gallstones - but I assume none were found?

If not, treatment options include a low-fat diet, removing alcohol from the diet and keeping your weight stable. You will need to seek further advice from your doctor.

Best,
Susan
