Audio. Had your gallbladder out?

Did your IBS start when you had your gallbladder or ileum removed? You might have bile acid malabsorption...

Tip Takeaway: For both bile malabsorption and IBS, it's helpful to follow the low fat, high soluble fiber guidelines of the Eating for IBS diet and add in a plain soluble fiber supplement. Fat stimulates bile production and worsens diarrhea. Soluble fiber helps absorb and bind bile in the GI tract and aids in its removal from the body.

You are not alone.
