 Incorrect. Bile is made in the gall bladder which is green sack which is

Oops,
Nope.  Not quite.  My gall bladder was totally removed over twenty five years 
ago, and I still make bile to digest my food.  Bile is made in the liver.  
The function of the gall bladder is to store the bile and release it into the 
digestive tract when needed for digestion.  
One of the few after effects of a cholesystectomy is that one must keep some 
food in one's digestive tract in order to keep the bile from beginning to 
digest things other than food.
If I try a "starvation" diet, I very soon have the MOST horrid "heartburn."
