Audio. Had your gallbladder out?

Did your IBS start when you had your gallbladder or ileum removed? You might have bile acid malabsorption...

Tip Takeaway: For both bile malabsorption and IBS, it's helpful to follow the low fat, high soluble fiber guidelines of the Eating for IBS diet and add in a plain soluble fiber supplement. Fat stimulates bile production and worsens diarrhea. Soluble fiber helps absorb and bind bile in the GI tract and aids in its removal from the body.
