Solution

As we know that gall bladder basically stores bile produced by liver. In the absence of gall bladder the liver will secrete small amount of bile into the upper part of small intestine. So small amount of fats can easily be digested but the trouble starts when food with high fat content is eaten. If the diet is regulated with very low fat content the person would survive.
