Habba Syndrome

I believe this might be one of the problems I am having. Ive been told I have dumping reflex, spasic colon. But this could explain this problem. Please Google it, to see what its all about. Ive had these problems for years. I have had my Gallbladder out. And it says 10 % of people that have had Gallbladder taken out, that it doesnt, stop the problem. I intend on talking to my Gastro about this next appt. He has put me on a Bile sequestering Agent, but I was taking it after I ate. I was supposed to take it 1/2 hour before, and didnt realize I was taking it wrong, til this AM. It can take up to a month, to start helping, so I at least have HOPE, at this time. As Ive said before, we need to always seek answers to our own medical problems. Has anyone ever heard of this? Ive been in a nightmare for years, with constant incompitent bowels. And it has gotten worse lately. Especially right after eatting. I cannot EVER go out and eat. No can I leave the house after eatting. Please say prayers I may have an answer.

" I am sorry that is going on with you.
Have you had a colonscopy? I have IBS and I know there are twi different types and cant effect you.
Seems IBS goes along with fibro.
Hope you see the gastrologist soon and get checked out,
Let us know. "

" Healing thoughts and prayers. I am minus 16 inches of my colon due to cancer and have to be careful with what I eat but my biggest problem is constipation if I go off my diet.

Gentle hugs.... "

" Yes just had a colonoscopy and a endoscopy done. The Gastro put me on Bile Sequestering agents for sphincter Of Oddi Dysfunction. But I think I have this also. I just happened across it this AM And Gastro said I have Osmotic diarreha. (Allergic to something Im eatting) Tried Lactose intollerence meds no good. ) Sopped Magnesium hasnt helped. But Ive had this problem since 45 when my Gallbladder was taken out. Habba Syndrome explains what I have to a T plus the Oddi problem, which causes awful pain. Also from having the Gallbladder out. Im now on the med it says will help. I pray to God it works. I have suffered many years with this. "

" I was misdiagnosed and treated for years with Crohns and Lymphocytic Colis as well which I DONT have. I was even on Steriods for it. I have told Dr.s all along it was something to do with my Gallbladder. And it got worse after having it out. Plus more pain. I am diagnosed recently with Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, and that does cause the pain. But this Habba Syndrome is" exactly "what Ive been going through for 13 years. Nothing has helped.I may not be Lactose intollerent either, if its this. I cant wait to talk to my Dr. and Gastro. "

" my daughter @ 15=now 21 had her gall bladder out& she still has pains when she eat everytime. Wrong foods greasy/spicey she has to go 15-30 after she eats & its fast & gasy Doc told her its common for gall bladder patients & if it is a real problem (uncontrable) a second surgery may be needed!
She is also allergic to corn & milk & that also plays into effect! ie:corn tortillas/corn bread she eats it then say oh thats corn! LOL "

" She also could have the same problem I do with the Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and possibly the Habba Syndrome. Surgery DOES NOT HELP and CAN make it worse. She needs a Gastrologist who will give her a Bile Acid Sequestering Agent to help this. Its because the Gallbladder was taken out wrong. Im just now after 13 years getting help for this. I was missdiagnosed all this time for Crohns and Colitis. Please look these up it may help her also. "
