I have had some pain where the gallbladder is that was just caused by acid reflux. I had it on and off for years. Sometimes just concentrating on burping, brings out the gas that causes the pain in that weird area and the acid can be neutralized with a simple supplement like Tums. I am not sure who else has what I have...blood tests to Xrays and everything normal, just a weird acid reflux. Kava doesnt necessarily help it, but I havent stopped drinking kava and it didnt make it worse.
