Correct.

Starch is digested in two steps. Amylase in the saliva and pancreatic juice breaks the starch into molecules called maltose. Then an enzyme in the lining of the small intestine splits the maltose into glucose molecules that can be absorbed into the blood.

As I recall cholestyramine is a resin belongs known as bile acid sequestrants that binds to bile acids from the gall bladder in the intestine. While, the pancreas and the gall bladder share a common duct they do different things. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and the gall bladder stores bile produced in the liver. Bile emulsifies fat so pancreatic enzymes can digest it easily. Bile is not an enzyme and it is not involved in carbohydrate metabolism.

Problems with starch digestion is something you would have to talk to a specialist about as this involves problems with other organs not just the intestine.
