Hi welcome to health care magic...

I appreciate your concern...

Gall stone can lead indigestion, constant abdominal pain and diarrhea like symptoms.....

So your diarrhea could be from gall stone

You might given ursodeoxycholic acid tablet for that...

If repeated cholecystitis occurs than gall bladder removal needed

Take care

Advise : consult gastroenterologist for examination and follow his instructions...
