What Is The Treatment For The IBS Started Since The Gall Bladder Removal Surgery?
I am a 42 year old woman. Since I had my gallbladder removed 15 years ago, I suffer from ibs.If I am in a stressful situation, I have sudden bowel problems. I have tried many different medications. The only thing that worked for me was xanax xr.The extended release kept me from feeling "high" My problem is that any doctor I mention xanax to goes on a tirade and labels me a drug seeker. How can I explain to a doctor that, as a caregiver, student, and future educator, that I am not just trying to get drugs.

Brief Ans-Dull pain under right ribs.../ Under Evaluation
Hi Dear!! Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and reviewed facts of your query in context of your health concerns.
My Impression-
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to have-
Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome(PCS) with bile acid induced diarrhea.
Treatment-
Plenty of fluids to maintain fluid balance
Cholestyramine-bile acid sequestrants-which by binding bile acids, reduce the diarrhea from its bile acid extra loads to intestines.
Cap Imodium 2 times a day
Cap-B12 Vit-1000 mcg
Tab Folic Acid-50 mgm
This would reduce the IBS which is PCS manifestation.
Hope this would resolve your health issues and would help you to plan further treatment with doctors there.
Good Day!!
