Hi All,

I am playing around with my dosing for Cholestramine and am curious what you all do? I take a brand called Olestyr and am currently just taking 1 tsp in the morning about an hour AFTER I have breakfast..

What works for you?

I take 3 grams of colestid (capsules), mid evening. Makes life bearable when living with short gut. Good luck with it!

My cholestyramine is genEric and comes in 5mg packets. Currently only using a mounded teaspoon instead of whole packet. I move it up or down if I start more trips to the bathroom. Oh and focus keeps telling me I sho u ld take before bed instead of morning....but morning means I get thru a day
