Hi Angie,
Your father might be having allergy to egg proteins. It can cause diarrhoea in allergic individuals. Why not try avoiding it and see whether diarrhoea reduces. If he has stopped talking laxative, it's unlikely to be the reason for diarrhoea now.
Gallstones can be an incidental finding and is usually not the reason for symptoms for diarrhoea.
If the diarrhoea is severe and doesn't subside with the above measures; you need to consult a gastroenterologist.
How the above information helps you. Thanks.
