From what I've read, symptoms include lower back pain, stomach pain and vomiting.

Here's more that I read:

Most people with gallstones do not have symptoms. Gallstones most frequently make their presence known when they become lodged in one of the ducts that carry bile, a digestive juice, from the liver to the small intestine. When such an obstruction occurs, you might experience the following:

Severe and sudden pain in the upper right abdomen and possibly extending to the upper back
Fever and shivering
Severe nausea and vomiting
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
Clay colored stools or dark urine

And here is an article:

I hope you feel better!
