I have been on Welchol for 5 months and it has changed my life. It was prescribed for IBS and I have tried many different medications, acupuncture, naturopathy, yoga, and anything else that the doctors hinted would help. This is the first thing that seems to be working. Since August, I have had four "flare-ups," which is a significant difference. I have been experiencing more headaches and some gas and heartburn. In my case, I am willing to accept these side effects because my quality of life has improved SO much in the past five months. I know that everyone experiences different side effects and results, but if you've tried everything and feel burnt out and like you want to give up, I recommend just trying Welchol to see if it can help you.

It changed my life too "Welchol" - I have no gallbladder and started to get dirreahea whenever I ate anything with just a 1 gram of fat. So I did my research and Welchol would be the answer to absorb my bile and control my cholesterol. I was doing so good on it for the last 5 months but now I am noticing muscle and joint pains. I don't know if that is stress? I have already had a thorough checkup.
