Hello--THANKS for submitting your question.

It certainly sounds like your gallbladder is the source of symptoms (but could also be something wrong with pancreas, or intestines). The best Diagnostic study to check for gallbladder pathology (eg. gallstones or obstruction; GB colic) is either a GB Ultrasound Scan or H.I.D.A. scan (NOT a CT scan). Please ask your MD to order those tests, as well as a "Serum Amylase level" (which tests for Pancreatitis). Please don't hesitate to recontact me, or ask for a "Live Chat" for further questions.
