Had my gallbladder out and began suffering from diarrhea all the time. This is the only drug that has worked for me. I take 5 2mg pills each morning and it works great.

Comment:
Get a Rx from doc so you can buy in 100 ct bottles and insurance will pay for it. Drug works well at hiding the symptoms but I'm looking to eliminate the root cause. This might be connected to the CA surgery I had 3+ years ago. Nobody seems to know.
