You may want to check into the possibility of SOD - sphincter of Oddi dysfunction: http://hopkins-gi.nts.jhu.edu/pages/latin/templates/index.cfm?pg=disease1&organ=3&disease=12&lang_id=1

In the meantime, consider following a low fat diet especially if if you're having bouts of diarrhea. Many people find that they 'dump bile' after the surgery since they're not able to process fats the way they did before the surgery. A low fat diet may help.
