Have you had a SeHCAT test? This measures your rate of absorption of Bile Acids, so enables gastro-enterologist to prescribed medication to suit -.. Only trouble is that, as now, the medication seems to go out of production frequently, so I don't know what we do in the meanwhile! Back to IMODIUM I guess - yuck! Good luck.

carl-godbold - I have that, but I don't get any pain. I take Colestipol to stop the diarrhea...it works like a miracle drug...also another one is Welchol.
