Hello
Thanks for asking query on HCM. By looking at your history you dont seem to produce excessive bile. Gall bladder stores the bile and concentrates it. When it is removed this function is taken up by proximal small bowel. Some patients have what we call it as - Bile salt induced diarrhoea, which improves with cholestyramine. Many a times it is transient and self limiting.
Take care
