My Dr has put me on Colestid for my diarrhea from the lack of gallbladder. Anyone know anything about this medicine. The nurse said it will bulk the stool up and I should not have this problem anymore. Why didn't anyone tell me this 12 years ago??? Seems to good to be true! It is a packet of granules that you mix with liquid 2 times a day. It is very expensive, but if it works then it is worth it. Thanks in advance for any info!

Here is some information I found for you. An excellent site to check medications is rxlist.com, which is where I found this.
