My diarrhea is finally calming down 6 weeks post-op after Nissen wrap. I'd had it for nearly 17 years after gall bladder removal. I'd taken everything my GI prescribed and they all caused nausea and even more diarrhea. just wanted to let people know that I have been using a prescript ion for 12 years that works well. It is Questran Light powder (Cholestyramine) - it has other brand names too. It works well for bile salt diarrhea-at least it does for mine, which started after I had my gall bladder out in 1998.

Bauxite is the raw material for aluminum and seeing that the little town in Saline county was the only place in the United States where it was worth while to mine Bauxite ore, the town was also named Bauxite. It is also known as the Bauxite Capital of the world. The mining began in 1899 and the town was owned by the company Alcoa. Industry grew larger and larger every year until World War II, when Bauxite was producing 1 000 000 dry tons a year.
