Upade on using cholestyramine powder.

So to catch up. In 2009 or around I was diagnosed with Chrons/colitis. Nothing I took worked and I was getting worse. I was up to approx. 19 Imodium a day. I was taking Pentasa 500 mg 4 tab three times a day, Flagyl, and prednisone. In 2014 I had 2 strokes, and started having seizures. Upon further investigation on my own, I found out Imodium is actually bad for you, I called the FDA, they said in the amount I was taking there is no proof documented, but findings show it could affect your heart and brain. They use it some how for heroin addicts. At the time I was recouping from my strokes so I did not under stand. The dr took me off all meds cold turkey. Immediately my chrons/ colitis came back like a ragging bull. I lost weight. Was very sick Then they found cysts on my Overies which they thought were cancer. So I had to go to the cancer center(they were not) While I was there they started me on Cholestyramine Powder. They told me no more colonoscopy's, I had had enough. I had 3 in 6 months, My Gastro dr got mad and discharged me from his care. I could not go back to the cancer center because they only treat cancer so I just went to my reg care dr. At first it was rough, and I was sick on and off. I could not eat fruit or raw veg, no milk my diet was horrible. I was malnutritioned. I stayed on the cholestrymine powder, I can say to date I feel so much better. I can eat and rarely do I get sick. I still have to watch what I eat. just went to the dr and my Labs were perfect. They told me my intestines were absorbing nutrition. Now I no this may be temporary. But I can go to restraunts and eat, we stick to home cooking no fast food. I am healing it feels so good. I eat apples and veggies uncooked. I no this powder is not for every one but its working for me I just wanted to share.
