Biliary sludge usually causes no symptoms and may appear and disappear over time. However, there may be intermittent symptoms and, on occasion, the particles may grow in size and become gallstones. The most common symptom of biliary sludge is pain in the abdomen, often associated with nausea and vomiting. This occurs when the particles obstruct the ducts leading from the gallbladder to the intestine.
Gallstones form in the gallbladder due mainly to dietary or hormonal imbalances, but also from liver and gallbladder disease. When stones get caught in the bile ducts leading to the intestine, this prevents the release of bile and triggers inflammation and diffuse pain. Stabbing and/or burning upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and belching are common symptoms of a gallbladder attack.
