Gall Stones

 
  The gallbladder is a small organ which is under the liver. It serves as a collection reservoir for bile.  The gallbladder concentrates the bile secreted by the liver. The bile is used by your body to digest fats. The bile contains: bile salts, cholesterol, lecithin, and some other substances. 

Sometimes the cholesterol crystallizes or hardens combining with the bile in the gallbladder to form gallstones. Often the person does not even know they have gallstones and may have no symptoms.  If a stone blocks a bile passage, then nausea,  vomiting, and pain in the upper right abdomen can occur. It is also good prevention to do a digestive and colon cleansing to clean out toxins and heavy metals from your system.
