bile malabsorption

Sub total colectomy two years out : diverticulitis, with two resections, c-diff, constipation, gastroparesis etc.

My colon surgeon prescribed whelchol for bile malabsorption. This was great at first as it helped with frequency, burning and bleeding. The bile was too much to handle.

I need to take it twice a day to help with those issues, but recently it seems to almost paralyze my gut so that once again I have symptoms of ileus, constipation or obstruction. Whatever it is, it's painful, bloating and nauseating. I've played with the dose...and it seems it's either burn baby burn or considering an ER visit.

If anyone has experience with this, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts!
