Dear Madam
You had gall bladder surgery one month back, i would be interested to know if you had any catheterization for urination at that time (although unusual in laparoscopic surgery these days)?
White powder in urine may be due to urine infection, casts or may be renal stone. You should under urine routine examination, urine culture and XRAY KUB to undergo evaluation for urine complaints.
Gb stones and cholecystectomy has no connection with white powder in urine.
