Cholestyramine success

Post by Reggie »

For the record, I just want to say that I've stopped taking cholestyramine. I had bad flare in mid January and went on bismuth for 2-3 weeks and was doing slightly better, and then started the cholestyramine granules. There had been discussion about bile toxins and about Caltrate 600 and taking things just before the first bite of a meal, so that's how I took it.

I had no idea how I'd get off it and neither did my GI. Finally about a week ago my stool became quite hard and I had some mild constipation, so I cut down the granules over about 3 days and I've been off for a couple more entirely. So far so good!

I've been off gluten, dairy, soy and eggs for about 3 weeks. I dare say that helps.
