This can be caused by so called postcholecystectomy syndrome which isnt uncommon condition. OR there is stomach issue such as gERD or gastritis. In every case you should change dietary habits. Eat more frequently but smaller meals,avoid fatty food, alcohol and smoking. Take antispasmic drugs when you have pain and take antiacid medicines. FOr further evaluation endoscopic and imaging tests should be done to see is there any pathology.
Wish you good health.
