Gallbladder problems in peri?

Does anyone have gallbladder pains that come and go?  And that started while in peri?  Last ultrasound didn't show anything.  I was wondering if when my hormones are out of whack it causes it to be sludgy or just hurt...and then sometimes when my homones are more balanced, it's okay.  Anybody have experience with this?

Of course I'm worrying myself to death that it is something bad since they didn't see stones this time.  About 18 months ago they saw sludge and gravel size stones?

    Got my labs back.  Cholesterol, triglycerides, and ldl were all high!  I've never had that happen, so I was a little shocked.  I know I haven't been eating great, but still.  So, I am going to try to clean up my diet.  They gave the referral for the ctscan.  My pain is much better today, so I may wait a few days to see if it comes back.  Has anyone ever had these labs with gallbladder issues?  I am not overweight. 5-6, 130.  I have been having some occasional constipation which is uncharacteristic for me.

    I have the same problem. I am 59 and u. Pain is unpredictable. Also have feeling of going to the toilet. Especially in the morning. Some days I can have 3 bowel motions and feel totally off. So many symptoms. No way of living like this. Docs don't know anything.
