Questran causing weight gain?

[Guest guest]

I started taking Questran about 2 months ago and within a month gained

10 pounds, the only thing I can think is it's the Questran since that

is the only thing I changed. I was working to lose weight, and now I'm

back tracking!! Has anyone else experienced this?

I really need the Questran, it works great for my itching.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

,

Are you taking the sugar-free version of Questran? (Although with

about 44 calories/scoop or packet of the regular stuff, it would take

about 15 per day to account for your change in weight). What about

what you mix it with. Is that an addition to your previous diet? What

about activity? Even small inconsequential movements - like scratching

- if maintained throughout the day can expend a significant number of

calories.

When I was taking Questran I didn't have any weight issues, so I can't

offer any sage advice on what has worked for me.
