      Try taking her to a specialist.  I know gallbladder problems can start at a young age, but 9 years old is quite young.  However, if this is a common problem in the extended family, I would do anything to make sure they check out her gallbladder.  Only you can advocate for your daughter.  

      My family also has a problem with young females having gallbladder disease.  I was the youngest, at age 21, to have my gallbladder removed.  I still remember the pain I went through.  You can't take no for an answer.  I'm sure you'll find someone who will check her gallbladder.    I hope your daughter gets the care she needs, and that she's feeling better very soon.  Good luck.
