Hi XXXXX
Thanks for writing in
I appreciate your concern for your health
As mentioned you have a solitary gallstone, there are patients who suffer from symptoms of gastritis even when their stones are silent
I would suggest you avoid junk and fermented meals and may be if you are used to lifting weights also for your body building, rule out any muscle pull and wait for some days, if this persisits, you may see a doctor
Hope this helps
