انا اعرف انه بالاغلب انفصال عن الواقع ومن اعراض اكتئاب بس ليش مستمر كذا ومع علاجات وتغيرات ايجابية بالروتين اليومي

كل واحد يحسسك انه هو الصح وهو الي يعرف وصفة الحياه السريه لكن اذا جيت تقارن وتشوف كل واحد قاعد يهبد من نفسه ومقتنع بشي عشان مايحس انه فاشل او ضايع. اقيس عل كل شي
الي مسوي نفسه "انا الي اعرف كيف اتعامل مع الناس وطريقتي هي الي ذكيه اجتماعيا وتخلي الي قدامي يرتبك" ولا الي مسوي نفسه فاهم السياسه وحكرتها وخلاص هو الي يتنبا بكل شي واذا صار اي حدث يقولك متوقعه! الاقتصاد… المستثمرين… المهنيين…. كلللل واحد عنده فلسفة خاصه فيه بس ماحد صححح هذا الي ابي اوصله كل واحد مننا قاعد يمشي على قناعه شخصيه او يمكن موهم روحه ومقنع نفسه انه مقتنع عشان ماعنده خيار اخر

ليش يسوون نفسهم الناس هم الي خابزين الدنيا ولازم تتعلم منهم او تمشي على اقتراحاتهم او تقلدهم

ليش مانقدر نعترف اننا ضايعين والحياه مريبه ومحد يدري وش الي قاعد يصير على مستوى العالم والمستقبل ماتدري وش وليش اشياء كثير تصير وليش حنا حنا وسبب انحطينا بالروح هذي والشخصيه هذي والبيئة هذي وتساؤلات ابديه ماتخلص

I had my gallbladder removed almost 10 years ago, when I was a teen, and ever since the surgery I’ve had recurring digestive problems that I’ve basically just learned to live with.

The main issue is diarrhea/loose stools and sometimes pretty urgent bowel movements, especially after eating. It can happen regardless of what I eat, and sometimes it even happens when I haven’t eaten anything yet. For example, there have been mornings where I wake up, drink nothing but water, and still end up needing to go.

I’ve always assumed this was just one of those things I had to tolerate after having my gallbladder removed, and I’ve never really pursued it much beyond that.

Recently, I came across bile acid malabsorption (BAM), also called bile acid diarrhea (BAD) and was honestly surprised to learn that it can happen after gallbladder removal. I started reading about bile acid sequestrants/binders such as cholestyramine, colestipol, and colesevelam, and apparently these medications can help people whose diarrhea is caused by excess bile acids reaching the colon.

Now I’m wondering: have I spent almost a decade unnecessarily tolerating something that could potentially be treated? 😅

Obviously, I’ll discuss it with a doctor before taking anything, but I’d really like to hear from people who have actually been through this.

For those of you who had your gallbladder removed and later developed chronic diarrhea:

Did you eventually find out you had bile acid malabsorption/diarrhea?
Did you try a bile acid binder?
Did it actually make a noticeable difference?
Which one did you use — cholestyramine, colestipol, or colesevelam?
Were there any significant side effects?
Did you get tested for BAM/BAD first, or did your doctor simply try the medication?
And, if you had been in my position, would you have just continued tolerating it or pursued treatment?

The interviewer asked, “How do you recharge outside of work?”

I couldn’t think of an honest answer. Without even realizing it, I lied. I said that I cherished spending quality time with my mother and sisters, then went on to describe activities we never actually do together. I painted a picture of a warm, close-knit household, and they seemed to love the answer. At the end, they smiled and said, “We can tell you really value your family time.”

When the interview was over, I didn’t feel empty because I had lied. I felt empty because I realized how badly I wanted that answer to be true. In that moment, it became clear that I wasn’t inventing a story to impress them. I was describing something I deeply wished I had. The lie revealed a longing I hadn’t fully acknowledged before: the desire for a home filled with warmth, closeness, and the kind of family time that leaves you feeling recharged.
