It certainly could be your gall bladder. Do you have a lot of pain when you eat anything fatty? You don't say if you are 40 but in nursing school we learned typhically symptoms of gallstones is fat female and over forty. However I have a neice who was 17, 89 lbs and had gallstones. She would often have a problem eating and would vomit a couple times a day. I would think they would see your gallbladder if they did ultrasound but they also had a hard time diagnosing my neices problem. You should probably talk to a General surgeon about this problem. Good luck. Hope this helps.

go to a doctor

Don't avoid the Hida scan. I've seen patients diagnosed with gallstones where a conventional ultrasound had missed them or they were undetectable.
