for almost 18 months i have had what is charmingly called
bile acid malabsorbsion, and now its been called bile acid diarrhoea.
with frequent trips to the loo,
have seen doctors and been given various meds including chlorestagel,
anyone heard of it. Am in pain lots of the time and don;t know where to turn to next. Am under gastroenterology but can't get an appointment until
25th september with the doctor at the hospital.
have been getting lower abdominal pain almost constantly. should i phone the GP and ask them to see me, as they say im at my wits end.

If he/she is prepared to prescribe 'off-label' medications (i.e. those which aren't licensed for use specifically with your condition), you might be offered colesevelam or a similar alternative:

You're in your own hell by the sounds of it,but keeping up a brave appearance. Contact your GP ASAP and tell him/her you can't go on any longer,let them know how desperate you really are and what you might be tempted to do to end your misery. Sorry to say that,but mental health is sometimes considered more important nowadays.
