I've looked at the posts under this subject, but need a little more info. I have had IBS forever. I am 43. It is classic IBS with alternating symptoms. My mom and aunt are taking Questran and now swear by it. My biggest problem is travel. Mom says taking it will alleviate any fears about travelling. Asked my Dr. about it before and he said he didn't believe in giving medication for every little thing. IBS - a little thing? I know this drug is meant to lower cholesterol and its positive intestinal benefits are more of a side effect. I don't have high cholesterol. All these years of taking soluable fiber supplements have made my cholesterol levels "enviable" the doc told me. I'm wondering if I should pursue this with him? Do you have any information on whether Questran is a viable option for IBS? Thanks so much for any input.
