Sarah,
I too had my gallbladder removed, but my symptoms started back again in a few weeks. I was told my gallbladder was only functioning 8% and they said anything below 36% is not good, so I probably needed it out anyway, but sure hated to go through surgery and then still feel bad. Anyway, I too had several other tests run because the doctors thought it could be pancreatitis because my pancreatic enzymes were elevated, but after all tests came back normal, my doctor told me that vomitting can make the enzymes go up and I was doing that. I have IBS D&C, so there's really no meds out there right now for me, but my gastronologist told me that anti-depressants sometimes help better than the meds do. I've been on Wellbutrin for about 6 months now and have never had a bad flare-up since I started taking it. I'm a believer that it really does help IBS or it does help mine anyway. Hopefully you will see an improvement soon. Just wanted to share that info with you.
Hope you have better days ahead~
Joy
