Hi,
Could only ask this here. They have stopped all my meds in preparation for Tuesdays colonoscopy/endoscopy. Stopped questran, librax, donnatal and the occasional immodium. Have been having strange colored BM's. they are light yellow to Almost white???
Anyone can shed some light on what's happening.
Thanks,
KK

Hi Kitty,
That's a typical sign of fat malabsorption. Withdrawing from the use of all those medications has apparently caused your digestion/absorption to deteriorate somewhat. IOW, one or more of the meds were probably masking your fat malabsorption problem while you were taking them.
Good luck with the cleanout and the procedures. I hope they go smoothly.
You're very welcome,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Not really, because fat malabsorption is typical for any of the IBDs (including MC and celiac disease). It's usually caused by gluten damage to the small intestine.kitty16 wrote:Does this give any hint to what the heck is wrong with me

donnatal and budesonide
Can I take donnatal and budesonide at the same time?
