I have over production of bile. I also have problems unaware i soiled my self. I am now taking collestipol 1gm in am and if I go out I take another. My problem started 10 years ago. I had my gallbladder out 40 years ago. I hate jt. But the medicine helps. I also know what foods set me off. I had to do my own research and come up with the diagnosis. Very frustrating when doctors do not help. I am retired nurse had never heard of this condition. I wear pads when I go places. Always carry xtra stuff. But I am thankful for the meds. Maybe try and see if it would work for you . It can. Constipate though but I find that better then standing in the middle of a store with poop running down my legs. Also sorbitol, malitol etc causes diahrea. I hate this condition.

Could you have IBS? Your sensitivity to sorbitol etc is one of the symptoms of that condition—along with Intolerances of many other foods and their contents.

Hello @tjitske, I admire how proactive you have been. You said, " I had to do my own research and come up with the diagnosis." For many of us, this has been the way we have learned about a difficult and/or hard to diagnose problem. In addition, you have worked to find out what foods and products will set off the loose stools. Undoubtedly, being a retired nurse has given you some insight and investigative skills.
You mentioned that you had your gallbladder out 40 years ago. Did this problem start at that time?
