Stones cause pain: Intermittent upper abdominal pain particularly aggravated by a fatty meal with the pain radiating to the back and right shoulder pain are typical symptoms for gallstones. Not sure how the bowel movements relate although they often closely follow a meal. A confirming test would be a hida scan done in nuclear medicine with cck stimulation. Talk to your dr. About it.

Biliary colic: Your gallstones could be the cause of your abdominal pain aka biliary colic. A surgery consult is indicated. Where risk/benefit analysis of organ retention vs surgical removal/laprascopic cholecystectomy can be discussed. Take a friend with you.
