I have been taking Welchol since the middle of November 2002. Previously I had been on various "statin" drugs but was removed after diagnosed with Pancreatitis (from the drugs only!) I do not drink alchol or smoke! After being removed from the statin drugs all symptoms of pancreatitis subsided almost immediately. Symptoms include sudden onset of severe middle back pain, bloating, gas, pressure at diaphragm area and itching of hands and feet. Today 12-27-02 I have experience my first re-occurence of those very symptoms - having been on Welchol just over 1 month.
