Like the title says, I had my gallbladder removed back in 2009. Ever since I have to be very careful about what I eat, especially if I'm not going to be at home. I have to watch my sweets, high fat foods, salads, raw veggies etc. If I eat those things it can bring on a bout or two of cramps and diarrhea. Anyway, that I'm use to. Well about a year to year and 1/2 ago I started getting bouts of diarrhea that would go on for a week to 10 days at a time. I just assumed it was virus's. Well this has now happened about 3 or 4 times in the last year and I know I can't be catching bugs that often because nobody else in my house comes down with them. Is this how IBS behaves? I'm wondering if that is what I have along with my no gallbladder diarrhea.
