Hello Buddies,
First I sure hope all are safe who were around the hurricane. Bad stuff. My hubby and I ran from one in a rented car while in Fl. once, not fun.
I wanted to ask a question not having to do with weight. This is the 2nd time I have posted something on the Digestive System Board and I expect no response as usual. That has to be the deadest board in ivillage. I'm going to ask you all, it's about medicaton.
Have any of you ever taken Questran-generic cholestyramine or Levid-generic hyoscyamine???
They are used for IBS, but I had my gallbladder out over a year ago and still having problems from the bile salts causing what they call the dumping syndrome.
I just wanted to know if anyone has taken either or if they had any side effects.
Would appreciate any input, thanks. Sorry I posted something that doesn't have to do with weight lose, but I'm frustrated and I knew I could count on you all.
Thank-you again, have a great weekend. Bye for now. Debbie

Thank-you so much for your reply. Just like I thought, I got a response here and none on the other. I really wish with every part of my being that I didn't have to take this medicine. I'm sure alot of the fear comes from the Anxiety/Panic disorder but I hate to take new stuff, just not knowing what to expect. Thanks again Pam.
Hope you have a great weekend. Debbie
I don't know anything about this, but I've posted a message on the health cl board asking if anyone can recommend a board for you. I'll let you know what I hear.

I'm not sure whether these will help, but here are the suggestions I've gotten so far:
Board -- http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhibs
Article -- http://www.ivillagehealth.com/experts/digestive/qas/0,,242109_174479,00.html
Board -- http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhgendigesti
The second board may be the one you've already visited. How long have you been waiting for an answer on that one?
I'll let you know if I get any more suggestions.

As last time, I wanted to thank-you for your help and site suggestions. Yes I did mean Levbid........greek to me Ha! I have waited over a day for an answer and it is still just setting there. Last time I got one response in a week. they just make me furious over there. If I could turn them in and have something done about that board I would.
Honestly I'm not usually this way, but why have a board covering such a variety of problems and knowone even care to answer. I knew I could count on you guys and again I was right. Better get, our son is graduating from the police academy tonight. His wife just graduated last year to be a school teacher and then they took a bunch of cuts in education so she gets to sub for the time being. Okay I'm rambling.
bye for now. Debbie
I'm glad some of the info we gave you helped.
