What to do if i had surgery on my gall bladder, and now i have bad diarrhea at times. .?

Stool culture: Frequently after surgery patients have an overgrowth of bad colon organisms such as c. difficile. This can produce the diarrhea you mentioned. If it persists, stool culture should be done and if such organisms found , proper antiboitics will clear up problem.
