What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain Post A Gallbladder Removal Surgery?

Hello, I am having strange symptoms. I had my gallbladder out in June and was doing well. However in the last 6 weeks I have been having severe pain in my upper abdomen and center of my back ( almost straight through) I find I burp a lot but that does seem to help at all. The pain comes on quickly and I can feel it coming and usually subsides after I vomit. This happens once a day and sometimes there are coffee ground looking specks and mucus in the toilet. I also have loose but not diarrhea after I eat anything. Its getting really old because I cant trace it to any one thing I am eating or drinking. I am female and 47 years old and otherwise in great health
