Viberzi
Since I was prescribed Viberzi about a year ago, my life has been so much better. It works for me almost 100% of the time. I love it.

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
