My lady; hi, the gall bladder is like a small purse where the secretions of liver get concentrated to be delivered to the small intestine and to be used in digestive process, it has nothing to do with pancreas and its secretions etc., gall bladder can get problems due to lots of reasons but mostly due to stone formation and blockage of the ducts. A gall ston slipping down close to the pancreatic duct and or a stone in the pancreatic duct as such and besides there are several other reasons for pancreatitis can result in pancreatitis.
