A member asked:

Can you tell me how to know if my gall bladder is working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your doctor: will probably order ultrasound. This will show whether or not you have stones. If this is normal, next test is CCK HIDA scan, which shows emptying of the gallbladder. But it really depends on your symptoms. Consult with a GI specialist for specific recommendations.
