Is There A Bearable Way To Mix Cholestyramine Powder?
I have been taking cholestyramine powder for about 6 months and if you take it you know it is not pleasant. It does not dissolve in liquid and if not mixed up vigorously you are swallowing lumps of orange powder. If there is anyone out there who takes it and has found a halfway bearable way of taking it I would greatly appreciate any advice. It helps so well for me but I want to puke everytime I drink it. What sucks is just about everything bothers me and I NEED to take this medication if I ever… read more
I have found so far the best way to take it is to mix it with applesauce. Or, mix with orange or pineapple juice or a Gatorade zero in the blender. Still slightly gritty, but way better than anything… read more

Does Anyone Have IBS And Crohn's Disease?
I need HELP if someone can
I suffer from both IBS and Crohn's Disease and I was just wondering if your back and all down your legs ache like crazy, causing you so much discomfort, you can't eat, drink, sleep, or relax

How To Get Rid Of The 'sugar Free' Burps And Gas.
Seems whenever I take a mint, or lifsaver, Altoid mint, Tic Tac as well as any Sugar Free mints or hard candy for dry mouth, I develop some hideous burps from the depths of Lord knows where. They are horrible, and arrive without warning. The lower gas is painful. Painful enough to wake me from a deep sleep and constantly repeats all day and night.

Is this drug available in Canada? If not when do you think it will be available?
Has Anyone Else Tried The Low-FODMAP Diet For IBS-C (NOT IBS-D)? If So, How Did It Go For You??
The diet seems to be really geared towards IBS-D especially from what I can tell. I know when I first tried doing it it helped the bloating, but made everything else worse, because I was following all the low fiber (and often pretty heavy) recipes on Pinterest... not great for constipation or someone whose gut is triggered by heavy foods. Combining the low-FODMAP diet (modified with what I know I can handle based on the reintroduction phase) with a more personally "constipation friendly" diet… read more
I have cut off fried foods, carbonated drinks, dairy free, gluten free foods
