The medication works great, but I have developed severe itching after taking it for about 90 days. A gradual thing. Went off it 3 days ago and getting some relief but still experiencing some itching. Will call Dr. to get advice.

I would NEVER eat/drink anything away from home (going out to dinner was not an option). Now, it's just part of my life routine and just something I have to do.

Really, really works to prevent bile salt diarrhea. The problem is, this brand (Prevalite) doesn't taste very good. I have had a much better taste experience with Sandoz Cholestyramine Light, which actually tastes good.

Had gall bladder out 5 years ago and on Prevalite ever since. Once a day, mixed into unsweetened iced tea. "Dumping syndrome" not the problem it used to be.
