Gallstones can cause Jaundice and Pancreatitis

The Dispatch: "In normal cases, the gallbladder stores bile - a combination of cholesterol, bile salts and a chemical called bilirubin - which is released into the intestine as an enzyme to ease the digestion of fatty foods. When these elements get out of balance, the components can create solid crystals, commonly known as gallstones. Should the stones slip out of the gallbladder, they can block the flow of bile into the intestines or cause jaundice, and if they slip too far down, they can irritate the pancreas causing pancreatitis."

It's rare, but it can happen.

Like squeezing a golf ball through a straw

Gallstones - like squeezing a golf ball through a straw: "Picture trying to squeeze a golf ball through a straw - Those suffering from gallstones need not imagine it; they may experience it firsthand.

Certainly, not all gallstones are the size of a golf ball. They can be as small as a pea or a grain of sand. But whatever the girth, the result is the same: pain. "

I can certainly relate to this.
