I have always had IBS A, but more prominent with D, so I may have had more trouble than most with the D after surgery. I stopped the questran because it causes C, which for me starts a really bad cycle. My IBS tends to start with C, backs up with D, then....well....all h*ll breaks loose!!  Then I end up with D for a while. I have to be careful with stuff like immodium because it works for me in the short term, but in the end, a couple of days later, I end up with another attack. Sometimes, it's just better for me to just wait it out. My way of controlling things right now is to pretty much stick with the diet found here and I eat no dairy (it's a miracle that I haven't had any ice cream since last Christmas!) I also eat very little meat. I also take some herbs and things from a naturopath. I'm still trying to stay one step ahead of things, but sometimes it just all falls apart and I end up with an attack anyway. I think that not as much of it is caused by the gallbladder surgery as it was in the beginning. Now it's just back to my regular old IBS problems, just a little bit worse than usual right now because of some work/personal stresses. Sorry, I know that's not much help. Everyone's system is different and will react differently, but everyone that I know who has had the surgery (about 8 friends) had a few months of digestive problems while their system readjusted. All but 2 can eat anything they want now. The two who can't are like me, they had other digestive problems to begin with, so those problems have remained or worsened a bit.
