Generally, pain on the right upper side after fatty and greasy meals. Sometimes scans like an ultrasound or HIDA Scan can help aid in the diagnosis.
If you’re having abdominal symptoms, your physician will be able to test you to rule out possible gallbladder disease
If a gallbladder is "bad", then I assume you mean there are gallstones causing pain. Gallstone pain in its classic form is pain in the right upper quadrant that starts after eating a fatty meal and lasts a couple hours before subsiding.
