Habba Syndrome As Well As Celiac Disease?

[Noel1965]

Hi all! I have had the big D. for 4 years straight (not one day off)3-10 times daily. I was diagnosed with celiac and have been gluten free for 3 1/2 years.....and still it continues. Has anyone had the same and asked their doctor about Habba Syndrome.....? Or had their doctor think of Habba?

I don't have any issues with this but I did hear about it on Discovery Health Mystery Diagnosis and found it interesting. I know alot of people on here are still having problems after going gluten free. I suspect it could coexist. I wonder how many people have have been misdiagnosed with ibs or had their intact gallbladders removed when medication could help? Here is a link I found:

I still have 6-10 BM's a day ranging from normal to D. Still present with some urgency however no longer with the great pain I used to have. My gallbladder was removed quite a few years ago.

I also saw the Mystery Diagnosis about Habba Syndrome. It was very interesting. I learn a lot from that series.

I am not celiac (hubby is) but I am post-gallbladder removal 2 years and still have "D". I live on Questran (cholestryamine for oral suspension) and Immodium and lately Nexium for the gastritis the bile is doing to my gut. Seems I can't handle the irritation of random bile coming into my system.

I believe Dr. Habba prescribes Questran for Habba syndrome. It certainly works to bind up the bile salts and stop diarrhea. I take Immodium about twice a month.
