A member asked:

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.
