Re: Frustrated IBS-D(er) needs feedback       11/29/05 09:40 PM Edit Reply Quote beachone Reged: 11/29/05 Posts: 3 Hi. I am new here, so I don't know anyone yet. I can tell you that my D started 10 years ago when my gall bladder was taken out. All these years the Dr's were calling it IBS, so sorry, nothing we can do except try diets more fiber and so forth. We finally got health insurance and I was able to go to a good Dr. I told him my story and he listened. He had me try Cholestyramine powder, one packet a day. I have been taking it 10 months now and it is a miracle for me. The Dr called what I have as gallbladder diarrhea. This medicine slows down the process, and I can EAT!! Before I would not eat all day until I knew I could be home close to the bathroom. Sometimes I still have urgency to go, but I have some time to get to a bathroom, and it is not D anymore. I just wanted to share this here. Living with this for 10 years I know what you are going through. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
