@lisalucier I was originally diagnosed with Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) but free more testing it turned out to be Bile Acid Malabsorption due to gallbladder removal.

@cherawgirl - hoping you get to check out some of these discussions on BAM on Mayo Clinic Connect, if you've not already;
- Bile Acid Malabsorption https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/bile-acid-malabsorption/
- How bad is the 48 hour stool collection for fat and bile? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-bad-is-the-48-hour-stool-collection-for-fat-and-bile/

@cherawgirl
Bile Acid Malabsorption is an interesting side effect of gallbladder removal. Could you provide more information about what symptoms led to that diagnosis, as well as what types of tests were used to confirm the diagnosis?
How are you feeling now? Is there medication that you take?
