Here's a nice explanation:

Even as many doctors subscribe to the myth that eating fat and cholesterol leads to gallstones, research indicates that eating too little fat and too many carbohydrates in the form of grains, sugars and starches actually leads to gallbladder ailments.1 The organ has one fundamental purpose: to help you digest food, specifically fats. Meddle with the performance of its job—as you do when you don't eat enough fat to keep it in working order—and you endanger its health. Instead, the bile just sits in the organ, losing water and thickening.

While I cannot vouch for everything on the site (they push the bars and shakes to many people's detriment) the article here mirrors what I have read in many studies.
People eat low fat for years, like putting their gall bladder in the garage. When they take it out for a drive; it has issues.
Did you know that decades ago, the gall bladder was considered such a vital organ that surgeons would clean out the stones and leave it intact? It was only with the Fear of Fat that it was taken out completely. And despite them lying that "you'll never miss it," lots of people do.
