My history sounds the same except I have only found this site last autumn.
Diagnosed ibs.d in 1975, gallbladder removed 1983 and although that removed a lot of my problems, the ibs has persisted and here I am now learning how to take control.
Soluble fiber is very important (I buy from this site - Acacia), acidopholus supplement has helped me and also Heather's peppermint capsules. Some people take a calcium supplement to help the d. but I did not find it helped me much. There is also a prescription drug called Questran which is prescribed to help the d. - it mops up the bile which is now unable to be stored in the gallbladder. I have recently started on Questran but cannot really give a verdict yet - will let you know.
Above all, your sister needs to give it time and I really mean time - months not weeks in order to stabilise satisfactory.
You have done the right thing by getting on to this site - the information is priceless. All the best.
