When bile starts to leak into the body due to complications of gallbladder surgery, trauma or some other condition can cause pain, inflammation and infection in the abdominal cavity where the bile has leaked.

The Bile is a digestive fluid that is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, and is used by the body to break down fats so they can be absorbed.

Other symptoms of a bile leak in your body are Nausea, Vomiting, Fever and even Jaundice which is a yellowing of the skin and eyes.
