If the ultrasound is clear they can do a radiology scan (HIDA scan) that tests whether your gallbladder is working properly. It can be failing without stones and you still feel sick. I had one in 1998 that showed my gallbladder was functioning but not great and it would probably die eventually. I wound up not having problems again until 2018 when I had it removed because of gallstones. I didn't have a 2nd HIDA scan so no idea how it was functionging before it came out but judging from how sick I was not well.
