Thank you!
I've had bike acid diarrhoea/malabsorbtion (BAM) almost every day since my surgery and my GP has said it's to be expected because I had inflammatory bowel disease and my deodeunum is the most effected so it's the reason I get gastric motility issues (some days I get gastric dumping, some days I have gastroparesis)
My doctor has just been changing my immunosuppression therapy trying to find the formulation and dose to reduce my BAM.
But it sounds like I need something to bind or neutralise the bile in addition to treating the IBD. I can't believe my GP never suggested it, I'm definitely going to be asking if it's worth trying.
