% GB Ca under 40 yo: is near zero. A fairly recent normal U/S also excludes this. GB Ca is after years/decades of inflammation with stones and U/S scans are ugly. For a nice overview incl. acalc. cholecystitis see: http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/medicalpubs/diseasemanagement/hepatology/gallbladder-biliary-tract-disease/ And see a gastroenterologist or internist to sort this out.
