Diagnosed With Gallbladder Infection. On Antibiotic. Noticed Bright Yellow Stool. What Should I Do?

I am at a loss to see that you were not admitted to the
hospital after an acute gallbladder attack and treated for
that. Acute Cholecystitis as it is called can be very serious
with possibility of rupture of the gallbladder and peritonitis,
intra-abdominal spread of infection and blood poisoning.
Gangrene of the gallbladder can happen.
If you have a lot of gallstoones, one or more of them can
block the channel that carries the bile to the intestine
resulting in yellow jaundice etc.
Anemia may be a separate issue altogether or may be
related to the infection.
Here ,in USA , you would have had ultrasound, CT-scan
as soon as you arrived in the Emergency room and put
on intravenous fluids and IV antibiotics, surgical consultation
would be ordered.
I hope I have given enough information for you to contact
and discuss with your doctor immediately.
Wish you the very best.
