 Now, this is what's really cool. Once you get into the small intestine, assuming everything went well in the stomach, the broken down food enters the small intestine where it's met by, you guessed it, more enzymes. These enzymes come from the pancreas mainly, but they also come from the gallbladder in the form of bile. Because if you have any fat in your food, any fat that needs to be digested, that's bile that will do that. And that gets excreted by the gallbladder to help you in digesting and absorbing the fats that you take in.
