Gallstones are often products of having fatty liver. They can be diagnosed through ultrasound, MIR, HIDA scan, blood test, and ERCP which is very expensive. According to Dr. Willie and Dr. Liza Ong, a gallstone may or may not show some symptoms. In a video, the doctor couple cited the common signs:

stomach pain most especially in the right part of the stomache
fatty food triggers stomach pain
yellowish skin or jaundice
high fever
back pain
vomiting
pain in the right side of the shoulder
indigestion

females who have given birth
individuals 40 years old and above
fat
flatulence
people with diabetes
people who are on a fast diet

Based on the video, to avoid having gallbladder stones, there are at least four (4) things that you can do – avoid extreme diet, choose a low fat diet, prevent obesity, and avoid eating fatty and salty food. For its treatment, some cases require operation depending on the advice of the doctor.
