Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I had mine out ten years ago, and yes, I thought I was having a heart attack as well..........

I'm a C and I think it even got worse after the gall bladder removal which is strange since it is suppose to produce a D affect.

My IBS pain is ALWAYS high up. I feel like my lower ribs are in a vice..........Not a nice feeling.

I've heard what you echo'd about GERD and gall bladder removal. Although I didn't get that I DID when I started peppermint caps.........so I learned real quick I can't take them!!! I have a problem with spicey foods now with IBS that I never had before...

I agree, all the other test should be done first before the gall bladder surgery. Even though I had no choice but to have it out, if I could I would have kept the gall bladder. Without one you don't process fats well and they only back up into the liver...............

so you have to stay on a low fat diet the rest of your life.........whether or not you have IBS.
