A member asked:
11 weeks post op gallbladder removal, every-time i eat a meal, 10-30 min after i have a bm with urgency. ibs or post op? how long does this last?

Could be normal: Bile is now flowing directly into your intestinal tract. Bile has a laxating effect. After a cholecystectomy your symptoms are not unusual and it may take a month or more for your intestinal tract to "reboot". If your symptoms get worse or continue for over 2-3 weeks consult with your gastroenterologist.
