Post-cholecystectomy: Post-cholecystectomy syndrome includes diarrhea and abdominal discomfort & can be seen in up to 20 percent of patients - this is due to the bile constantly draining into the stomach or intestine (rather than being stored in the gallbladder between meals and squirted into the intestine after meals), which can be irritating. Usually it slowly gets better. Treatment with Cholestyramine may work
