Cholecystonia
Strong Gallbladder/Weak Colon
Individuals having the cholecystonia constitution have weak colons, so they always experience pain in the lower abdomen and have a heavy feeling in their legs and waists, and they do not feel relieved after having bowel movement. Their bodies are always cold, and it is difficult for them to fall asleep. The key to their health is to keep their lower abdomen warm. Taking cold baths and ingesting alcohol are fatal for this constitution.
