Dumping Syndrome
"I had my gall bladder out years ago, and immediately starting having  problems with severe diarrhea.  For years, I always needed to know where the bathroom was wherever I went.  Traveling was a nightmare.  I am a teacher, and I would not eat until I was done teaching for the day because of this issue.  I heard about cholestyramine and talked to my doctor, who said it was worth a try.  From Day 1 taking it, the diarrhea issues were solved!  I have been taking it for about 7 years, and it helped me get my life back to normal.  My prescription ran out and I am having to go for a couple of days without it, and I am scared of what will happen!"
