I was diagnosed with IBS-D over 20 years ago. Then I got my gallbladder out and I seemed to get worse. No one including the specialist told me about a drug called Questran that helps bind the bile acids for people without gallbladders. I got on Questran Lite and it helped me quite a bit, BUT I still had my IBS problems off and on to deal with. I just recently got off of the Questran because I was having some side effects to this drug. Not everyone has problems taking it, but I developed some and couldn't unfortunately continue with Questran. I would definitely talk to your doctor about it. The way I discovered Questran was by doing a search on the internet for people having problems after getting their gallbladders removed. I came across one site that had a message board and you should have seen ALL of the complaints about diarrhea problems after their gallbladder was removed and how most doctors don't tell you this can happen.

Re: If the IBS-D is Gallbladder related, would the "what to eat when you can't eat anything" diet work??
