It's very common after GB surgery. It's been over 10 years since my surgery, and I still have it some...not nearly as often as I used to, though. And I can't tie it to certain foods, although I've tried. For me, it happens really quickly...hubby is used to sitting at the restaurant table alone to finish his meal while I dash to the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. If this is what you are experiencing, I recommend doing a web search for "cholecystectomy" or "gallbladder surgery" and "dumping syndrome". Hope this helps.
Thanks,
