Help with PRD

Thirteen years after I was given pelvic radiation following various operations following kidney cancer, I developed what I thought was a vicious diarrhoea. It continued into kidney failure and a diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Finally it turned out to be PRD, Nothing helped - until a new gastroenterologist (the third) suggested Questran-Light. Almost instantly I had control and apart from occasional flares, I am having a reasonable life.

Hello Thinke, do take this medication to lower your cholesterol? i have chronic diarrhea due to radiation proctitis and radiation ilitis. Chronic diarrhea rules my life. But my cholesterol and tryglycerides are all low and good.
