Gallbladder diarrhea: After removal of gallbladder it is common to develop diarrhea. The reason is bile is no longer released in control quantities as there is no reservoir( gallbladder). It is released in large quantities and overwhelms intestinal absorption. Some people lack receptors in colon which causes diarrhea. The treatment is bile resins(cholestyramine and colestipol) that bind bile. With time diarrea improves.

Bile: Diarrhea after cholecystectomy is common, and often caused by bile (green). This may even rarely last an year. Avoid milk products, oily foods, caffeine, and very sugary food/drinks, and ask your gastroenterologist about some anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide (if diarrhea persists) or bile binders like aluminum hydroxide or cholestyramine.
