The bad news is that this particular symptom can be dangerous. Watery stools can be caused by gallstones, which form when there is excess cholesterol and bile in the gallbladder.
Reporting from the Express, Friday (15/7/2022) this can cause a gallbladder attack if gallstones block the bile duct.
That’s what makes this condition so dangerous because it can secretly build up in the arteries. It can cause serious problems without showing symptoms.

To help prevent the formation of gallstones, it is important to lower cholesterol levels in the body. Cholesterol is good and bad, it must be balanced for the body to function properly.
Too much bad cholesterol can cause health problems in the body. High cholesterol is usually caused by eating foods such as butter, fat, cakes, pastries, fatty meats, bacon, and sausage.
Good cholesterol absorbs bad cholesterol and carries it to the liver where it can be excreted from the body, so increasing your intake of good cholesterol can help flush out bad cholesterol and stop it from clogging the gallbladder.
Good cholesterol can be found in foods such as oily fish, eggs, organ meats, and full-fat yogurt. While high cholesterol does not show many warning signs and is not completely undetectable.

The NHS explains that your cholesterol level can be determined through a simple blood test. As experts suggest, one of the key mechanisms for lowering cholesterol is changing diet.
However, the NHS notes that other lifestyle changes such as exercise or quitting smoking can also help. If lifestyle changes are not enough, the patient will be prescribed medication to lower cholesterol.
