Chronic Hep B - Bile Salt for sluggish gallbladder

Not officially diagnosed with gallbladder disease but i would like to know if Bile salt is safe if you chronic liver disease. I did HIDA scan that came back with Gallbladder ejection fraction of 92% with normal being greater than 38%. I've always had stomach issue (H pylori and peptic ulcer all cures for several years). However I've been experiencing RUQ pain for the past 5-6 years even with diet improvement - no red meat, occasional white meat, vegetable, nuts , fruits and seafood all organic wherever possible. I've also tried both vegetarian diets. I've had some improvement but nothing to complete eradicate this pain. It does move around but more focused on the right upper quadrant. The RUQ pain really started after liver biopsy back in 2015. Based on Endoscopy the GI diagnosed me with stress related Gastritis and possible IBS but I seriously don't believe that's the root cause of my pain issue. The pain isn't debilitated in any way shape or form, but it's annoying and irritating and i was wondering if anyone has had the same experience and how to overcome it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you
