Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Habba Syndrome and Oatmeal

I recently went back to my GI as my IBS is as bad as its ever been, to get his thoughts on Habba Syndrome. As expected, he had never heard of it as Habba Syndrome and was skeptical suggesting that it's really just a variation of IBS and not to be considered as something different. He got me started on the bile acid resin CHOLESTYRAMINE. It's only been 4 days so too early to tell (he said to give it about 10 days to determine its effects). On my first day however, after only one dose which I took before bed the night before, there was a huge change. My BM's and overall discomfort were minimal - I was estactic thinking I finally found the answer. Unfortunately, the next day didn't have the same results and things were back to normal - constant discomfort and multiple BM's. Like I said it's too early to come to any conclusions so I'm not giving up but this did make me think of how the same thing happens everytime I eat oatmeal after not having it for a while. It's like a wonder drug for one day and then has no continued effect.
If anyone has any thoughts whether you've experienced something similar I would love to hear them. Thanks.
