That must have been so scary!
Clostridium difficile or C. diff, is a bacteria that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to severe abdominal cramping and inflammation of the colon; it typically occurs after the use of antibiotics.
Here is some information from Mayo Clinic: http://mayocl.in/2dMcY4F, and I’m tagging @concernedmtnmom, @momochan @kyjeanne, @kathymeyers @tedjoanie, who may have some thoughts for you.
@dodgerblu818311, C. Diff. is notoriously difficult to get rid of; have you been tested for it recently?

@dodgerblu818311, I have no gall bladder, but I do not have the usual incision site, since mine was removed during process of liver transplant surgery. I do, however, experience some sudden pains I the abdomen. I have realized that these are due to change in my eating habits, for example, if I allow myself to eat fried foods (not often) I know I will suffer later. I was also diagnosed with mild diverticulosis, as a result of my early inquiries to my doctors.
So I wonder if you have made any dietary changes, recently.
Having said that, I would encourage a phone call to your doctor, to be sure. If this is being caused by something that requires treatment, you are best to get it diagnosed early.
I hope you can find a resolution, soon.
Keep in touch.
