Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out here in internet-land takes Colestid?

I use it to act as a super-duper strength Imodium, and it seems to work well enough. However, I get stomach pains if I take too many for too many days in a row. (It's a take-as-needed type of pill) On low key days, I take one or two a day (which is not many). If traveling or something similar I will take more. My doctor says that some of his patients take up eight to a day, which seems like a lot to me. He actually told me that "Colestid should probably become my new best friend." :]

I'm wondering if anyone takes a lot of Colestid and what type of good results/possible negative results (though hopefully nothing negative!) that you experience. Does anyone take two at a time?

Thanks!!
 
Wow! Super imodium! I want nothing to do with that! I tried an imodium once and couldnt crap right for a week! It was nice to not have D, but the feeling of bloating and everything was brutal!!
But I do have a friend with UC that says he used to take 8 imodium a day!! That's crazy!
