| 4 | cecum removed chrons disease | No side effects unless I missed a dose i would have severe diarrhoea and pains in my side. | As soon as i started taking this it stopped the diarrhoea and the burning sensation when going the toilet. I can manage on half a sachet to one sachet a day in the morning. | F | 32 | 6 months | 1/6/2010 | 5 | Crohn's Disease (diarrhea) | None | Can't take any other medications an hour before or a couple of hours afterward. I've been on many different drugs for Crohn's Disease (Asacol, Dipentum, Pentasa and now Lialda), but it wasn't until I started the Questran that my diarrhea abated significantly. If I go a day without it, I have diarrhea all day long; but otherwise if I take it, I rarely do. It's been a true lifesaver for me! A bonus is that my cholesterol is also very low! | F | 51 | 12 years | 9/17/2009 | 4 | bile acid | bloating | F | 67 | 1 years | 1/20/2009 | 5 | Questran light | very good no side effects | take 2 packets morning one in the aternoon | M | 73 | 10 years | 9/2/2007 | 5 | Diarrhea and high cholesterol | None. | I had my gall bladder removed at age 13 due to an accident, which ultimately caused severe diarrhea. Using questran light, which has a side effect of constipation for some, caused me to have normal bowel movements. I'm now "normal" and love it! It also controls my cholesterol levels. A two for one! | M | 43 | 6 years | 2/10/2007 | 3 | microscopic colitis-antidiaharreal | worked great for 1 month. am upping my dosage up to 3 packets. often have acid reflux after taking | seems to help reduce cramping | F | 53 | 2 months | 12/29/2006 | 5 | distal ileum, ileocecal valve remov | must take care not to take it within at least two hours of other medications, because it absorbs them along with the bile. Keeps my cholesterol low, even though I didn't have a problem before taking it. | Need to adjust dose to correspond to amout of fat eaten. If I'm planning to eat a fatty meal, I up my dose. Periodically I try not taking it, which results in diarrhea, so I guess I'm on it for life. | F | 58 | 5.5 years | 2/21/2006 |
