How does Cholestyramine actually help chronic diarrhea?
The Cholestyramine is used to form stools in people with chronic diarrhea. It is used to bind bile acids so you can have normal bowel movements. You can use it up to 6 times a day if your doctor says it is necessary according to my PDR book. You should also have your cholesterol and triglycerides checked periodically while on this medicine. Hope this works for you and good luck sorry to hear about your cancer, I had a hysterectomy for ovarian and uterian cancer 10 years ago and I am only 42. I will be thinking of you.
