After a long history of having to have a
bathroom on wheels to take everywhere, I
have had a colonoscopy & doc wants to
put me on
"welchol". Anybody out there tried it?
Heard of it? It's for high cholesterol so
makes me little nervous to start taking
it. Thanks for any help. Pam

I had my gallbladder removed back in april
and experienced chronic diarrhea after and
my surgeon prescribed cholestyramine for
oral suspension light and I took it for a
week and personally it made me bloated and
gassy. I personally have not taken
welchol but it sounds similar to
cholestyramine.
