How many of you have so much pain and nausea that you call in sick at work?
I have IBS and do not have my gallbladder anymore. Normally, my doctor has prescribed me prevalite to bind the bile salts that my liver now dumps (at will) into my intestines. This medication normally helps my situation. However, more frequently I have been having more abdominal pain, gas, loose stool, and nausea. I have been calling in sick at work more frequently. How many people have been having issues with this regarding work?
