Does anyone else out there have this sympton? Lots of times when my D is real bad I will have a yellow or orange fluid come with my bowel movements and there is hardly anything solid with them. This is on days when the urgency is at its worst and I am the most pain.

Those may be days when you are dumping more bile into your GI tract than you can absorb, especially since you don't ahve a gall bladder.You might look at how much fat is in your diet, more fat=more bile produced.Check out LNAPE's Calcium threads as well as she had this same sort of issues and treats it with OTC calcium supplements.Prescription-wise you might talk to the doctor about Questran or its relatives. They bind bile and can be used for both post-gall bladder removal diarrhea and IBS-D.K.

jplaney,It may be that you gall bladder is not functioning properly and this may be the reason for the yellow bile diarrhea. The calcium can still help in this case also.Linda
