Why always 2:00am for gallbladder attack? i eat at 7:00pm.

May not be gallstone: Typically several hours after meals because the food is entering the small intestine and the gallbladder is secreting bile. https://patient.info/health/gallstones-2 However, other conditions such as stomach ulcer may need to be considered. Please consult a doctor licensed in your area for specific advice and treatment

Fat in meals: Gallbladder attacks often follow eating a fatty meal, pizza, fried chicken, french fries, that sort of thing. The fat has to be absorbed into the bloodstream first, which accounts for the time delay. Fat stimulates the gallbladder to contract and force bile into the GI tract, bile helps the body to absorb fat, and therefore digest the food. Unfortunately this triggers the gallbladder attack
