Dr. Herman Hammerstead answered

Specializes in Trauma Surgery

Cholistid/Questran: Cholestid is a bile binding drug which should stop the diarrhea. Diarrhea is the key linking most of the other symptoms This article should clarify the problem: http://www.medicinenet.com/bile_acid_sequestrants/article.htm
