Any information about sensitivity to CT scans on parts of body that have been affected previously by Radiotherapy and Brachytherapy?
I had Radiotherapy for cervical cancer 16 years ago and have had gastro problems helped by
cholestagel
, urinary and vaginal problems too. Two months ago I had to have CT scans for investigation. I hadn't realised they were radiation based.

IBS D and Cholestagel
I am a 49 year old female who has suffered from IBS D since my early 20s. During that time I had good spells and bad spells but for about the last 10-12 years the bad spells lasted longer and longer until I finally reached the point where it had taken over my life and I finally lost the determination

Spreading the Word
I have just come back from a GP appointment to get some more
cholestagel
. He asked if I would mind speaking to a fifth year medical student and he left the room.

Should I Finally get my Head out of the Cholesterol Sand?
For the last 6 months or so I have been trying
cholestagel
, the lipid clinic told me take 2, but the GP only prescribed 1 a day. I did not like to argue that the patient information says starting dose is 6 a day, so I am not surprised that 1 didn't work, but I did not expect LDL to increase.

Do you ever wish you'd never got your cholesterol tested?
I just wanted to carry on taking
cholestagel
and forget about numbers, but he is now insisting I have another blood test to see if it is working. I just don't want to be obsessed with numbers any more and the worry that brings.

Are Patients from Mars and Health Care Professionals from Venus? - Part 2
I have started on my bile mal-absorption treatment taking 6 tablets a day of what I describe as horse pills but the doctors call
Cholestagel
. I was also taking phosphate tablets but they caused untold damage to my backside. Yes John Terry saw more of me than it had done even on my worst day.

What is the Starting Dose of Cholestagel?
I have finally started on this. Had to go to my GP and he has prescribed 1 tablet (625 mg). I think this is because the lipid clinic told me 2 ! Alarmed to discover that some drug sites are saying you can take 6 a day. Could anyone tell me what dose they started on?

Cholestagel
