Re: I agree Immodium works best for D... - Sugar       12/27/03 09:45 AM Edit Reply Quote *Melissa* Reged: 02/22/03 Posts: 4508 Loc: ; Have you tried using Questran? Here's info on it from the glossary . Questran Questran (generic name cholestyramine) is a prescription drug used to bind bile acids normally stored in the gallbladder. Questran binds the bile acids in the intestines and prevents them from reaching the colon. If you have diarrhea-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but your symptoms began after you had your gallbladder or ileum (the last portion of the small intestine) removed, you likely are suffering from a malabsorption of bile acids secreted by the liver. These acids, which are normally stored in the gallbladder, are instead being dumped directly into the small intestines, causing chronic irritation and diarrhea.
