Re: Cholestyramine Question

Thanks Tex, that makes sense. Having a timeframe really helps, too. MC requires nothing if not endless patience. I'll stick with elimination phase 1 diet for 3 months and reassess. I can use that time to research Cholestyramine brands without all the additives in case I need to go that route. Much ...

Cholestyramine Question

Hi all. Today I started my phase 1 elimination diet. I suspect I also have BAM, so I had my GI prescribe me Cholestyramine. I know that people can go through the phase 1 diet and still deal with WD because bile acid malabsorption (BAM, treated by Cholestyramine) isn't addressed, thus why I wanted to ...

Hi John, I appreciate your feedback! What you say about iron makes senses. I've had anemia in the past, but given how much meat I'll be eating no need to supplement. I am using all supplement brands I've seen advised on here- Doctor's Best and Thorne. I realized a few weeks ago a D3 supplement I'd ...

Preparing for Phase 1- Feedback Welcome!

I have had MC since 2014 experiencing WD the entire time. I have tried Budesonide, Pepto protocol, and dietary changes (gluten free 1.5 years, mostly dairy, soy, eggs & corn free for the past year) but have never been able to stay in remission. My GIs (there have been a few over the years) left it ...
