I was doing some research for one of my patients when I came across your note. Your symptoms are not uncommon after cholecystectomy(gallbladder removal) and is usually due to the irritation of bile constantly being released into your intestine instead of intermitent release after a fatty meal. Bile is like detergent or soap in that it disolves fat for digestion to take place. If there is no fat present it will irritate your gut, like soap on a cut or in your eye. Your doctor can prescribe a medication that sequesters or binds the bile acids called cholestyramine that can be taken usually twice a day and helps with the symptoms you are having. Hope this helps.
