Not uncommon: After gallbladder surgery, some people have ongoing abdominal symptoms, such as pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea (postcholecystectomy syndrome). This occurs because of alterations in bile flow, which normally is stored in the gallbladder between meals and squeezed into the intestines after meals. Following cholecystectomy, the bile flows continuously into the intestines and cause irritation.
