Guest guest Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi Phyllis, I get mine compounded to be SCD compliant. I guess I will up my dosage and see how that works. I do feel better some days when I take it. Jodi > > > > Any of you on questran while on SCD? > > > Jodi, > If bile enters the colon it will cause extreme d. > What questran does is combine with bile to form a complex that removes the bile safely. Normally bile is reabsorbed from the ileum, travels back to the liver and doesn't enter the colon. But if you have no ileum, (because of a resection) it enters the colon and can cause a lot of d. Questran can be very effective for those of us without ileums. You might try fiddling with the dose- I take very little. > BTW, Questran has a lot of sugar in it, Questran Lite is sweetened with aspartame and Colestid granules or tablet is just the active ingredient. I think there are other choices also. (different manufacturers) > > Hope this makes sense. > Phyllis > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Jodi The description that Phyllis gave of how Questran works is exactly right. It is certainly a question of getting the right dosage. You can read some reviews for Questran here: http://www.irritable-bowel-syndrome.ws/questran.htm Also for diarrhea the probiotic s. boulardi is also excellent. Good luck.
