Cholestyramine helping stool colour/pain but giving me loose stools
Hi everyone, I have dealt with some sort of bile acid problem for a couple years, after some dodgy prescriptions from a malpractice king of a doctor.
I have been on an extreme low fat FODMAP diet, basically eating the same thing everyday. It has helped my stools firm up to normal, but they were still yellow and very painful.
I have started Cholestyramine a couple weeks ago, 2x 4g doses. One before breakfast and one before dinner.
It has helped significantly for the pain and colour of my stools.
However I now have loose poops? And a sense of urgency to use the bathroom that I didn't have before...
Has anyone experienced this?
