Brief Answer:
You may take bile salt pills, But try diet modifications

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking back!

I am sorry for the discomfort you had to face. I want you to know that gall bladder does not produce bile. It just stores it. Bile is produced in liver which you still got and it is still coming to your gut through common bile duct.

Bile salts are produced in the liver, secreted into the bile ducts and gallbladder, and sent from there to the small intestine by way of the common bile duct. In the intestine, they make it easier for your body to absorb and digest the fats and fat-soluble vitamins that you've eaten. Remember, not all fats are bad: there are "good" fats, and they are crucial to our health.

Bile salts also help dissolve gallstones that have formed in the gallbladder and may help keep them from forming in the first place.

People often have gallstones without knowing it, but if the stones start causing symptoms, such as severe abdominal pain, then surgery to remove the gallbladder is a possibility. For most people, it's a safe and effective operation, and these days, it's usually performed laparoscopically through small incisions, so the recovery time is short. Still, taking bile salt pills might be worth a try if gallbladder surgery is risky for some reason. The active ingredient in the pills is ursodeoxycholic acid, or ursodiol. The problem is that ursodiol is just not that effective at dissolving gallstones.

Your liver continues to make bile after your gallbladder is removed, but the bile flows more directly into the intestine, instead of collecting in the gallbladder. Without a gallbladder, which gives bile a chance to pool and stones a place to form, there's little reason for you or others who have had their gallbladders removed to take bile salts.

The one exception may be an unusual condition called biliary sludge: the liver keeps making thick bile that can plug up the common bile duct and cause symptoms. Bile salt treatment can help with that. But if you haven't had any symptoms since your gallbladder was removed, you almost surely don't need to take bile salts.
The reason for stools stickiness is the reason bile is not enough like previous and only small amounts trickle all the time not enough to digest the fats in the GIT. The best measure is to avoid dairy products and eat small frequent meals.

Nutshell, bile is not produced in gall bladder and you still have it. You just dont have it enough as it is no more being stored and comes in small amounts from liver. Which is why you need to avoid fatty products and eat in small amount but frequent intervals. You may take bile salt pills but natural and diet modifications are the best course of action here which is avoiding dairy products and eating small frequent meals.

I hope i am clear now.

Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Take care
