I take Questran (generic Cholestrymine) 1 tsp. w/ water at bed (One package can be to binding and constipate.), It binds bile and stops my diarrhea. If I don't take this at bedtime. The next morning, no matter what I put in my mouth I will have diarrhea. I had my gallbladder removed 9 yrs. ago, and with that I got IBS w/ severe diarrhea (pain and fatigue, alot of acid. Also, try Protonix for acid. I cannot eat gassy fruits or vegies, citrus or acidic foods, no fried or fatty foods, no dairy, no alcohol.
The Questran is a miracle for me. I've just been put on Symax an antispasm med for your digeston.
Good luck, I wish you well.
well how do i know if food has gluten? i dont believe ive ever looked at the label and found gluten on it. How else can i tell if it has this? Ill experiment with this because this is basically my only other option to go. thanks for you response by the way
Search "Celiac disease." This is a condition where your body no longer tollerates a substance called gluten. Gluten is in EVERYTHING we eat... bread, beer, salad dressing, ketchup, crackers, croutons, pasta, etc.
The classic sypmtoms of this is loose stools, diareaha shortly after eating, foul smelling stools, gas and stomach cramping. Lazy doctors frequently misdiagnose Celiacs Disease for IBS. I had to force my GI doctor to test me for it. Now here is the funny part.....she told me I tested negative for Celiac but when I quit eating products with gluten my symptoms go away.
I'm not saying this is what you have but it sure sound like it. Good luck!
