Gall bladder symptoms can be painful and debilitating. If you have gallbladder disease, you have ongoing pain in the gallbladder, which is located under and to the side of the liver. The gallbladder is a small sack that stores bile from the liver. The bile is then used to help digestion. Pain occurs when the gallbladder becomes inflamed. Acute, sudden pain happens when gallstones form, which is caused by too much cholesterol buildup in the bile. Symptoms can also include gas and bloating.
Gall bladder symptoms also may include chills, fever and shaking. The chills, fever and shaking may occur more often after consuming fatty foods because the gallbladder is responsible for assisting you in digesting fat. These symptoms may possibly disappear 6 to 18 hours after they start and your pain begins to decrease

How to Treat Gall Bladder Symptoms
Keep a Food and Symptom Diary
Keep a food diary of everything you eat and track when you experience symptoms. Most people who suffer from gallbladder problems have them on a recurrent basis and can link them to certain foods. The foods most likely to trigger a gallbladder attack include spicy and high-fat foods such as dairy products, red meat, and sugar and alcohol. Try different combinations of foods that cause symptoms, as well. For example, a regular hamburger might not cause symptoms, but a cheeseburger with fries might.
Use ultrasonic waves to break up the gallstones, if that is what is causing you the pain. This treatment is becoming more common and is also used to break up kidney stones.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy – may be used after surgery for gallbladder cancer to help prevent cancer from returning.
Give up caffeine, or severely limit your intake. For many people, caffeine seems to trigger gallbladder attacks of pain and nausea. Giving up caffeine should reduce your gall bladder symptoms.
