The gallbladder may still be the problem. I am a Family Practice Doc in Wisconsin and have seen this many times. The symptoms fit with gallbladder problems - the GB is a storage tank for bile from the liver. Bile aids digestion, particularily fatty foods. If there isn't enough then you get nausea and gas. If there are stones in the GB then you can have pain too. You can have gallstones or just a gallbladder with no stones but it doesn't work. Ultrasound looks for stones and the second study, usually called a patency study sees if the gallbladder works properly. If both tests fine, its probably not the GB. If it is bad the usual course is to remove it. I would go with the second test. Hope that helps and good luck.
