Bile can cause diarrhea as a side effect. Why? Because bile inhibits H2O reabsorption.

Since too much bile can cause diarrhea, you don’t want to take purified bile salts if you already have diarrhea—it can make matters worse.

The gallbladder stores bile, so your body has plenty when it needs it. Many times when you have the gallbladder removed, there’s no way to regulate the release of bile. This can cause too much bile in the small intestine, which may lead to diarrhea.
