Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Yes these two condition can be associated ...
You could have chronic cholecystitis ....
Because of that diarrhea can occur...
It could be primary infection or secondary to gall stone....
In USG wall thickened but no Stone present....

So here if needed higher investigation like magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography might needed.
If necessary gall removal might needed.

Consult gastroenterologist for that...
Meanwhile take low fat diet....

Take care...
