The amino acid Taurine may help move things along for you.

I'd try this, as it is not dangerous or over stimulating.
1 or 2 grams a day should do it.

I've done this myself. Taurine helps the bile flow better by complexing the cholesterol out. Then the spasms lessen.

I hope you are not using the medication metformin... this can really do a number on the gall bladder! Also SSRI drugs increase serotonin in the GI tract and may increase cramping. SSRIs are used for depression etc. Some people have trouble tolerating the GI stimulation from them.

People with bile flow problems, should not eat large meals. And avoid too much fat as well. Smaller meals with small snacks inbetween, can help. You don't have to avoid ALL fat, just only in moderation.
(things like bacon, fried foods, ice cream, etc are best avoided)
