Members connected over the frustrating experience of managing IBS, GERD, and digestive issues, particularly for those without a gallbladder who struggle with bile spill and difficulty digesting fatty foods. Several members shared practical strategies that have helped them, including taking ox bile supplements before meals, using medications like Prilosec, Pariet, or omeprazole for acid reflux, trying Imodium for IBS spasticity, staying consistent with Miralax, and identifying and eliminating GERD trigger foods from their diets. A recurring theme was the trial-and-error nature of finding what works for your own body, the connection between stress and digestive flare-ups, and the shared understanding that living without a gallbladder brings unique and often unpredictable challenges.
