Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | HELP, I'm Pulling my Hair Out

So I call my GI Doc to let him know that I have started this new diet and have seen so wonderful changes but am still suffering from D at least 5 times a day which is great compared to the 10-20 a day I was going......so he tells me the diet is great keep up the good work but he wants to put me on a med called Questran, since he removed my GalleBladder in 2000 he thinks this med will help with my IBS.....That whole statement does not make any since to me....Do I have IBS? or are my Problems due to the fact that I have no GallBladder? Then I go to my PDR and look up Questran it says its a drug used for Cholestrol....Whats up with that..I know many drugs have diffrent uses than what they were first found to work on....But when I ask my Dr. these questions he says just to stay on te diet and take the new mends I'll should feel better in a week or so....I've been batteling this since 2000 so for 7 years the first 4 undiganoised and the last 3 as IBS......But is IBS really my problem?

please help I feel like Pulling my hair out I realy am at my wits end here.
