Strange, but not so strange symptoms...

Okay. So I’ve been to a few different doctors and have yet to get any answers. Just the same old crap.
For several years now, ever since I had my gallbladder removed I have had symptoms that cripple me some days, and some are every day problems.. they are as followed to its easier to read..
- chronic feeling of hunger for days at a time with no relief After eating or drinking.
-days of no appetite and a nagging case of nausea
- daily diarrhea
- severe stomach cramps that you can even see when I’m laying down.
- stomach will painfully “growl” throughout the day so loudly that everyone around me can hear it.
- I rapidly lost 160 over the course of a year, unexplainably with no change in diet or excercise.
- can not gain weight anymore. No matter how much I eat, I can not get above 160.
- severe migraines that send shooting pains
For help I am a 22 year old female 5’ 10” 149lbs

Years ago I watched the TV show Mystery Diagnosis and the condition was Habba Syndrome. This is
due to a dysfunctional gallbladder which produces an abnormal amounts of bile. Symptom - chronic diarrhea. The treatment is bile binding agents such as
cholestyramine (Questran).

So I figure this is the treatment you need as well and had a quick look online and to no surprise found the info below...

From Mayo Clinic...

"In most cases, the diarrhea stops soon after the surgery. Rarely, it may last for years.

The cause of diarrhea after gallbladder removal isn't clear. Some experts believe that it results from an increase in bile, especially bile acids, entering the large intestine — which may act as a laxative.

Treatments you and your doctor may consider for controlling your diarrhea after cholecystectomy include:

Anti-diarrheal medications, such as loperamide (Imodium A-D)
Medications that impair absorption of bile acids, such as cholestyramine or aluminum hydroxide"

Hmm I’m going to bring That up to my doctor on Wednesday. Never heard or came across that before.

I would demand to see a specialist and have the appropriate imaging done of pancreas, spleen and stomach.

I’ve had a endoscopy done and they supposedly found absolutely nothing. My insurance isn’t being the most helpful with getting me to who I need to see.
