The latest theory for my IBS from Dr. P is bile acid malabsorption, bacteria overgrowth. Gave me cholestyramine. Dr. P ordered camera pill test which I had to go see Dr. B. Well, Dr. B doesn't agree with Dr. P. Dr. B said I'm not sick enough for him to do the camera pill test. He prescribed antispasmatic and a liquid laxative. So I called Dr. P today.. His nurse/wife said to take the antispasmatic and laxative for a few weeks and follow up with Dr. P.

I'm totally confused and frustrated. I'm predominantly C with some D. The cholestyramine binds me up..now they want to add a laxative?? I feel like giving up on these doctors.

I have tried Heather's EFI diet...I do good for approx a week.. then I fall off the wagon.. eating junky again... So, I have not been consistent with it at all. I suffer badly with depression and live alone.... How do you/would you all handle this?
