Permanent SIBO due to removal of ileocecal valve

I had an emergency bowel resection last August. I had a twisted intestine and a portion of my small intestine and large intestine had to be removed. I just learned yesterday fro my appointment with a PA that I no longer have my cecal valve. Now I understand why I haven't had a normal formed stool since before my surgery. I deal with diarrhea everyday. Has anyone else had this situation and what foods work for you , along with any other helpful hints.

I’ve had the same due to adhesions
Besides SIBO another problem is that I am limited to the amount of iron. Ferritin. B12 Vitamin d and calcium I absorb. I need to take iron infusions annually, b12 shots weekly and 50,000 vit d weekly
That area of intestines is part that absorbs vitamins and minerals

I use Cholestyramine for oral suspension USP,4g for my diarrhea. I have used it for over 40 years. It works. Sometimes I have constipation when my bowel movement starts again. But this just started within the last year.
