So hello to all I am new to this but have to try and get some answers. Please help if you have ANY suggestions at all. So I am a 50 year old women have had gall bladder out hysterectomy out, most basic surgeries,I have had diarrhea where I start going as soon as I get up and go about 15 times in 2 hours I have had diarrheafor about 15 years I do foster care and always have little ones so its not like I can just pull over and run in a gas station real quick. I have tried Imodium, Pepto, jello water perscriptions, gluten free Its not like IBS cus I dont get gas or bloating no real tummy aches. I m just wondering if anyone has any ideas???? PLEASE let me know if you can think of any tests, any meds anything I might request they try!! THANKS

What has your doctor said about it?

There s also functional d, which is like IBS, but just D.

But it still could be IBS, even if you have mild discomfort, but you have to have pain or discomfort for IBS.

What tests have they done so far?

I have had the same as you for many years. Bile Salts D. is something that happens to 5% of people without there Gallbladder. Try

Cholestyramine. this is an old medicine that helps with Cholestral but works very well with Bile Salts D. I feel 100%

Have you heard of Microscopic Colitis? Might want to search this and look into it.
