Can PPI withdrawal increase bile production - or is just normal acid rebound?

I quit esomeprazole a few months ago. In the beginning the rebound was horrible and I think there were bile in my stool. The acid levels aren't still normal but not as bad as during he first 3-8 weeks. 

What is weird s that some days th acid production stops (when ths occurred in the beginning it was always painful). The the acid levels increase again. And when the acid (and/or bile?) levels increase all of a sudden I feel hat my arms and thighs are burning or in pain. Last week the acid stopped for a ew days but this ime I didn't feel pain in my upper stomach or the firt time it happens.

I took Nexium again couple of days ago for three days and now I'm expieriencing strng acid rebound again. As soon as the acid levels increased I had to go to the toilet and there was bile again. Or is it bile o just acid?

Is this normal withdrawal or is my bile levels increased because of Nexium withdrawal? I don't trust the doctors so I'll ask here before I call one.

      I do believe there is a connection in increased bile and ppi drugs. Often, food sits undigested and bile can remain in the stomach with undigested food. It was found in my stomach after ppi drugs as well through endoscopy
