Hello and hope you are doing well.

Polyps are caused due to the inner lining of the mucosa getting edematous due to inflammations of the gall bladder. Gall stones are caused due to calcification of the sludge in the gall bladder. Both of these conditions are likely to cause gall bladder symptoms like pain and intolerance to food.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
