I've had those... I don't get the cramp sensation the OP describes. it's more like someone's wedged a dinner knife up under my ribs - I want to move and stretch and shift position to relieve the pain but it doesn't help. and they go on for 12 hours to 2 days.
food reaction for me is sometimes stomach acid / heartburn type pain, and sometimes intestinal cramps and burn like mentrual cramps - heat and pain in the low ab, not up under the ribs. usual duration is 4 hours to maybe a day.
still, if you want to test the theory, what I've found works best is cream cheese - cheese cake, bagels with cream cheese in a thick layer... that's the thing that will set off a gall bladder attack faster than anything.
it's all detective work...
