Very strange 🤔 am definitely thinking it could be connected to the bile salts

Hi Netbet22 - I’ve been doing a lot of research on BAM and found a forum where multiple people taking the treatment were complaining of itchy skin - particularly from their knees down, so it could be related.

Could I just ask you if the treatment helped with your BAM? Thanks.

Yes the treatment does help colesevelam that's wat I take for mine I have Been to doctor about my skin as I had a flare up round knees then a few months later was my arms now it's between my fingers she did say that it could b caused by the bam if to much bile salts enter the blood stream can cause eczema flare ups
