My wife is suffering with her side, i am not sure if it's gal stones or kidney stones?

Any: Depending upon the exact location of the pain, medical history and current symptoms any is possible with probably even more actual sources for her symptoms. Best would be to encourage her to see her GP, so that a proper exam and diagnosis can be formulated. Keep a log of symptoms and take to doc.

Since the gall bladder is on the the right side of the abdomen, pain on the right could be from either. However gall stones tend to cause pain toward the center of the abdomen, while kidney stone pain is usually on the side and spreads toward the groin area. Pain in the left side may be kidney stones. However, there are other causes of a pain, so see your doctor for evaluation.
