Thanks for the reply.

Actually I did all this tests a year ago. I did the gluten test as

well as the hypothyroid tests. All went normal.

Although carbohydrates may affect my symptoms, specially if I abuse on

them, I found no problem in eating bread or pasta. In fact, I feel

worst on restrictive diets, like eating only steamed vegies.

Since my symptoms are so erratic and unpredictable, it lead me to

think another part of my digestive system may be involved, and the

gallbladder seemed logical.

I was just wondering if anyone had or knows anybody with chronic

digestive problems which improved after a liver flush.

Thanks again

I believe a sluggish gallbladder can mimic or contribute to IBS.

Focusing my treatment on my gallbladder has really helped my IBS.
