Oh yeah, if you start taking Cholestyramine you must also take Vitamin D. This medication can block the absorption of fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E, AND K. Vitamin D is the one that seems to be the most affected by this medicine. Good Luck!
With your gallbladder gone, which is how the release of bile was controlled, your liver is producing a steady flow. Cheri70 is right low fat is the only way to go but you may have to start taking Cholestyramine which is a powdered medication that you can mix with juice or water that binds the excess bile. Often times, especially in women, you can have stomach irritation and develop Colitis if your Liver produces too much bile. The small Intestines usually absorbs bile but if there is too much it can enter the Colon and scorch the lining causing inflammation, pain, nausea, and a variety of other issues. If your stomach pain persists ask your doctor about the Cholestyramine. Good luck to you...

Have you been eating low or non-fat? It's really the only way to go this early after having your GB removed.
I am 8 months post op and I still have pains/nausea and the stools are similar as you described.
I wish I had more to offer. Did you have stones or inflammation or both?
