High Gallbladder Ejection Fraction

I am 30YO and have been having what I believe is gallbladder problems for about a month.  I have had four attacks and have some level of pain/discomfort most of the time on my right side and behind my right shoulder blade.  So far I have had an ultrasound (no stones), endoscopy (no problems), celiac test (negative) and a HIDA scan (GEF of 92%).  My GI wants to do a MRI next.  Last weekend I ran into an old acquaintance who had the exact same symptoms and test results.  She suffered a year before she found a doctor who helped her.  He diagnosed her with overactive gallbladder due to her high GEF (95%).  She had her gallbladder removed three weeks ago and her symptoms are gone.  Upon removal of her gallbladder they found lesions and scar tissue from the attacks.  I brought this up with my GI and he said that he has never heard of an overactive gallbladder and that 92% was great.  Is there such a thing as an overactive gallbladder?  I've only been able to find a few articles on the topic.  Thank you.
