I had mine taken out in 1988. Three weeks after I gave birth. A gallstone had came out and lodged in my pancreas, and I had pancreatitis and had emergency surgery. In 2006 I was diagnosed with Crohn’s. I already had the bile coming out all the time with my diarrhea. I finally told the doctor recently that I thought a lot of the diarrhea was having was not from Crohn’s, but because of my gallbladder. She gave me colestipol. It says on the bottle take twice a day for diarrhea. It is also a cholesterol lowering medication. It might work for you but for me it gave me constipation. I got so many bottles of that stuff. I can’t wait to get rid of it. What I do is if I get the really bad cramping and cannot get it to stop I take Imodium D. Just one. And that usually does it for me. Right now I am battling because I am going to have to have surgery with part of my small intestines taken out that is full of scar tissue from my Crohn’s. So I go back-and-forth between loose bowels and bowels not moving. The diarrhea started before that. Seems as soon as we move to Pensacola in 1985 the loose bowels started. He thought it was the water. I didn’t know it’s because I had Crohn’s. They know a lot more now about Crohn’s than they did even back then.
