This reply is for mum2jo. I had the EXACT thing for over 25 years. By accident, I heard someone say that ever since they had their gall bladder removed, they had the same problem. I had my gall bladder removed. I did some research on the web, found some good info and then talked to my doctor. She prescribed some medicine that is used to lower cholesterol.
The very first dose worked like a charm!!! I no longer decline invitations to go out to eat or shopping or anything! I was sooooo bad, I would spend a lot of time on the side of the road, in the woods!
My doctor prescribed one packet twice a day but through my own trial and error, I found that one a day works better for me.
If you want to check it out with your doctor, it is called "Cholestyramine". It's in powder form and you mix it with water. It's really, really nasty tasting but it is definitely worth every nasty swallow!
Hope this helps you!!
