Sluggish Bile ProductionBile is necessary for the breakdown of toxins, dead blood cells, fats and other toxins. It's also partly responsible for the color of fecal matter and it's expulsion from the body. When there isn't enough bile, then these processes are inhibited because bile stimulates the peristaltic action that's required to move material through the digestive tract. The liver produces bile daily and is signaled to release the bile by the hormone cholecystokinin into the bile duct. It then is moved to the intestine where it initiates peristaltic action. Several conditions can be account for decreased bile:
Sometimes the bile gets backed up into the pancreas, which is a very painful condition that leads to pancreatitis. It's caused by a constricted flow either because of the viscosity of the fluid, or the constriction of the sphincter. When the bile can't be produced properly, a person may appear to be jaundiced, (yellow skin and in the whites of their eyes). This is a sign that the bilirubin, the active ingredient in digestive bile, is releasing into the blood.
