Prostate cancer treatment and IBS
At the moment, I've got IBS looseness and urgency under reasonable control by taking the treatment for bile acid malabsorption (
Questran
powder) although I have not been formally diagnosed with bam: who knows, the benefit of
Questran
could simply be the placebo effect!

I feel my PBC is getting worse and no one is listening
I’ve started
questran
for the itch but only every other day at he moment because it makes me feel a bit nauseated. I’m taking anthystamines at night to help me sleep but often only getting 5 or 6 hours and feeling as though my batteries are flat all day.

slow release Mebeverine
I would have to take one at breakfast and one at bedtime, as I have to take
Questran
in the evening and cannot take any other meds at the same time and have to wait 4hours. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

Should I take more Questran light
Shall I the more
Questran
light? I’ve had debilitating IBS my whole adult I’m now 67. I had my gallbladder removed 20 years ago which made my D problem even worse. I’ve been on
Questran
light for 12 years and it has been a life saver until 2 years ago.

Urgency/incontinence control?
I do take
Questran
(I have had a bowel resection, dormant Crohn's very fortunately) and that is very helpful but unknown foreign spices can bring unwanted surprises? The nature of the trip would be such that always eating out of grocery stores would be impossible.

I have just been prescribed
questran
by my consultant for extreme itching. Was wondering if anyone else had been prescribed this medication for the same reason and if it worked for them

When to take Questran or Colestid powder
I am taking one sachet of
Questran
or Colestid powder (containing colestyramine or colestipol hydrochloride respectively) per day to control suspected bile acid malabsorption (I have a cooperative doctor - but I haven't been tested for BAM) and therefore IBS D - and with some success.

ngoing stomach bowel issue.
Started me on bile acid powder
questran
light. I had diarrhea constantly so gave up on it. He started me on doxycycline and did not help. The gas and wet mucus got worse. I decided to go dairy gluten and wheat free.

Help with PRD
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.

Itch / bile acids / diet
I have written down the names of 6 different medications mentioned in the forums, such as Cholestyramine (
Questran
) - it's my understanding they bind the bile acid/salts that are under our skin and make us itch.

Questran
Light to treat sever bile acid malabsorption. My pharmacy says it’s currently out of stock (which it often is) but now they are saying it’s not likely to be available until April 2020.

I’ve been taking
Questran
for five days now, to stop itching related to jaundice. Does anyone else have experience of this medication and how soon does it usually take effect? The itching is really impacting on my quality of life.

Cholestagel stock problems
The Gastroenterologist agreed with me and prescribed
Questran
, he would not send me for seHCaT test! No supplies at chemists so he then prescribed Cholestagel. My symptoms disappeared overnight with my first months supply.

HE SAID YES!!!
Said yes to prescribing me a Bile sequestrant (
Questran
light / Colestyramine) It took a lot of nagging but I managed to get him to agree to the medication... just 1 sachet a day... with a follow up in ONE YEAR. Anyway, has anyone else tried this medication? What experiences have people had?
