The gallbladder is a small but important organ. It stores bile produced by the liver. This bile is passed through the gallbladder to the small intestine and helps digest fats. An optimally functioning gallbladder contributes to smooth and comfortable digestion. If this process is less efficient, you may experience a heavy feeling in your abdomen.

Factors such as diet, stress, and lifestyle can affect gallbladder function. For example, excessively fatty foods, a low-fiber diet, hormonal changes, and a lack of exercise can hinder gallbladder function.

A healthy lifestyle and a varied, balanced diet are important.
