Hello everyone,

Ive probably asked this question before but i cant remember. Has anyone had any side effects while taking this? Has it caused anyone any major issues?

Many Thanks

Hi Julie.

On 3/4 4g sachets a day. No big problems. Did you check side effects on packaging? Tablet form might suit you better?

Hello.

Thank you for your reply.

I been prescribed them but I haven't actually tried them yet. Really nervous because of the common side effects which mentions vomiting and excessive wind. Just wanted to see if anyone has had any issues with this medicine.

Many Thanks

If you are suffering with Bile Acid Malabsorption the Questran really helps quite quickly. In my experience well worth it. Good luck
