Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
it can be related to gallbaldder even if there is no galbaldder stone in it. there can be polyp or motility disfunction and you should do HIDA scan. Also it can be realted to your liver of bowel. Most common bowel disrders are IBD but inflammatory bowel disease should be ruled out too.
Wish you good health. Regards
