Biliary colic is a steady or irregular pain in the upper abdomen. It is usually under the right side of the rib cage. It happens when gallstones interfere with the normal flow of bile from the gallbladder. Bile is a liquid that helps to digest fats. Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When you eat a meal, bile passes from the gallbladder through the cystic duct and the common bile duct into the small intestine. There, it mixes with partially digested food. If a gallstone blocks either of these ducts, the normal flow of bile is blocked. The muscle cells in the bile duct contract forcefully to try to move the stone. This causes the pain of biliary colic.
