Stomach Upset by Greasy Foods

Fats in the diet require bile production from the lover and adequate bile release from the gallbladder to be properly emulsified and digested. A person who has a stomach upset by greasy food is in need of gallbladder support. The bile is probably too thick and needs thinning.  If the bile does not properly emulsify fats, they can lead to irritation of the small intestine, especially if the fats are from hydrogenated oils.

Another possible cause is pancreatic insufficiency. The pancreas produces lipase, which aids in the digestion of the emulsified fats.
