At what point should we pay attention to stomach illnesses?

Research on Gallstone disease and obesity has led to be a major factor in determining the future health of Latinos. This research has found that gallbladder diseases at an early age is becoming more frequent amongst Latino Youth, but Latino children aren't born with deteriorating gallbladders, so the problem reaches further.
