Bile salts diarrhoea

I have Crohn's and had a small bowel resection just over 3 years ago. Since then my Crohn's has been in remission and life should have been better except I have been left with bile salts diarrhoea. I have just re-tried Questran Lite but I just don't get on with it. I am at my wits end and going away for Xmas and don't want it to spoil things. I don't eat if I have to go out, don't enjoy meals out, had a near miss on public transport and I buy Imodium in bulk from the USA and take a minimum of 4 daily, more if I need to. Any suggestions or advice, medicines or dietary, I have had so many near misses I feel it's a matter of time before the unthinkable happens

    I take citrucel twice or three times a day. I don't need immodium anymore. Went on a week long business trip and had no issues. It's worth a try. Good luck.
