Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am IBS-A and had gallbladder surgery in March. My system has gone HAYWIRE!!!! I took the Questran (they are reluctant to give it to people with IBS) for about a month and had to stop it. It was giving me C and causing more problems than it was fixing. It might work for your sister though. It got me through the initial few weeks so that I could at least go back to work. It would help with the D for a couple of days, but then my system would spasm out and I would be sick as a dog again. I have a particularly lovely form of IBS that spasms my entire system from beginning to end...NOT pretty! lol
I have been pretty much trying to stick with the diet on this website and I have been doing much better. So far, it seems to work fairly well. I am still kind of going back and forth from C to D but I think that is just my system and the fact that I am eating very little right now, mainly out of FEAR! lol I finally have been seeing a dietician and a naturopath and hopefully will get this under control soon. They mentioned even eating baby food while my system readjusts to digesting "real" food. Hope you guys find something that works well. Try anything...it's the only way to find out if it works!
