Bile Acid Diarrhoea
I have this condition and take
colestyramine
daily which controls it well. I recently asked my GP to have my fat soluble vitamins checked (A,D and K, I believe) in a blood test as this has not been checked in a long time. The email! came back saying there was no indication for this.

miracle treatmen for IBSd
This happened last week and he started me on
Colestyramine
4 g and after first dose I noticed such a difference ! Having ruled out other causes for my IBSd through dietary changes , colonoscopy ,FIT testing etc I can’t believe it’s taken this long for BAM to be identified as the cause.

Colestyramine
I have recently had a colonoscopy which resulted in all biopsies being clear. So have had a diagnosis of ibs d and possible Bile Acid Malabsorption. My consultant started me on 1x 4g sachet once a day for a week and increased to two sachets a day for a week.But I’m still having very loose, frequent stools

PBC and Cholesterol
My total cholesterol level has shot up to 6.39. My internist wants me on a statin (Atorvastatin) with it's many negative side effects. I've been researching other cholesterol lowering medication options and many sites (including the Mayo Clinic) list bile acid sequestrants - including Cholestyramine

Cholestyramine
Hello. Has anyone experienced any side effects with Cholestyramine? Been told its a 14 month wait to see the gastroenterologist and doctors have done basic tests which came back negative except the calprotectin test which was raised. I have asked to try cholestyramine. Many thanks

more of Dr. Jones' '2 minutes versions'
from Dr Jones' book - Cholestyramine (Questran) is the first line treatment for the itching. If this doesn't work, then taking Rifampicin is the next line of therapy. Even when this is effective, it can make the liver worse. It is very important to check liver function tests after taking Rifampicin

Cholestyramine
My husband has had explosive diarrhea since mid February. After blood tests, stool samples, colonoscopy, and more stool samples, they are not able to determine what is causing the diarrhea. The doctor has prescribed Cholestyramine. Has anyone had experience with this medication and did it help?

cholestyramine information
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/19459-cholestyramine-powder-for-suspension I know how badly this tastes. I'm sure anyone taking it would welcome hints on making it more tolerable. I always drink it very cold and thru a straw sometimes. It seems I mixed it with juice.

Needing a little TLC!
My cholesterol has gone to very good this month as I have just been prescribed
Colestyramine
for Bile Acid Malabsorption which has caused me problems for years. Now I have chest pains which I thought was indigestion. Mainly at night and the pain wakes me.

Double Dosing Cholestyramine
I have been taking a single dose of cholestyramine for several months but now my itching is severe again. Taking a double dose means staying up late to time it with Urso as I have to wait hours between each. My internist says I can take two cholestyramine doses at once. The packaging and everything on

Anyone able to put on weight with bile salt malabsorption?
Just found this group after 20 years [correction - 30 years!] living with bile salt malabsorption from radiation to treat leukaemia. I reckon my weight has been a steady 20% less than it should be. And I have a very low BMI. Cholestyramine has made a HUGE difference to my condition. But has anyone

How best to take Colestyramine (Cholestyramine) please?
The patient info leaflet (PIL) only gives the warning about other drugs, so 1 hour min after other drugs before taking
Colestyramine
, and wait 4 to 5 hours (not sure why two options) after taking
Colestyramine
before getting back on other drugs.

Update on my post Confused
Well I did the endoscopy and colonoscopy last week. Am happy that they found nothing new just a suggestion for another in 10 years…Yea So the Gastroenterologist suggested Cholestyramine. I think it may be contradicted in kidney patients and people whom have had intestinal blockages. Wow… now to see

Maybe a rant/seeing if anyone has gone through the same
They also want me to try
colestyramine
4 daily. For bile salts. I also have low folate for 2 years that I have had 2 round of folate for 3 months I'm now on for a year. In all this time I have tried going back to work twice at night as my gut is less active over night.
