	Answer by Dr. Harsha Priolcar (doctor) on Tue 10, Nov 2009 09:22pm: Hello. Since your Ultrasound, scan and test results are normal, the possibility of gall bladder disease though present, is minimal. Some common conditions that may mimic gall bladder disease are hepatitis (liver infection), colitis (intestinal infection) and peptic ulcer. I would suggest, you discuss these possibilities with your physician and meanwhile try a low-fat diet (avoid spicy, fried foods and takeout)recommended for gall bladder disease. I hope this helped. Do take care and Thank-you for writing in. You can get more information about gall bladder disease at the following site: http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/gallbladder/a/gallstonessymtr.htm
