Probably: Normal gb ejection fraction if greratere than 35% at 60 minutes. Your is way below normal indicating gb contractile dysfunction. Assuming your dr. Feels your symptoms to be related to your gallbladder, surgery would be the best option.

Most likely: Whenever the gbef is less than 30%, it is considered positive for chronic cholecystitis. Chronic cholecystitis is usually treated by removal of the gallbladder. Crohn's disease can affect the ascending to the sigmoid colon, which is the majority of the colon. Affected areas can cause significant pain. It may be difficult to pinpoint if your pain is due to one, the other, or a combination.

More tests: It sounds like a gallbladder issue. However one question I have is whether you have primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc) which is seen in crohn's disease and would give u an abnormal hida scan. Ask your gi. You may need an MRI to look more closely at all the ducts.
