welchol in powder form

I take (2) 500mg of metformin at breakfast and supper. I also take powder welchol at supper. I would like to take my 1000mg of Januvia at bedtime to help lower my morning blood sugar readings that usually run in the 150's to 160, Any cons to taking the Januvia without food at bedtime?

I would assume they're giving you welchol for diarrhea and the Ami for GI spasms. This is a combination that is given to many (or combinations like it) when someone is experiencing unexplained abdominal pain (perhaps due to spasms) and diarrhea. Ami is used fairly frequently in GI problems, so don't consider it a 'head med.' It is, but in this case it's probably being used to work on the receptors in your GI tract - not your head, although it will do that, too.

While you wait for the dotor ot answer: Like all the rest, foods/drinks (and coffee), vitamins, and other drugs, take Welchol hours away from your thyroid medication. Welchol can make it harder for your body to absorb certain other medications, including levothyroxine/Synthroid. So as long as you take them both far apart from each other, you should be fine. Low Vitamin D, did you tell the doctor? Will you be taking supplements to build up your low V-D, I presume.

Hi, Your "Welchol tablet stuck in the throat feeling" symptoms sound like they could have been written by me. I've been on Welchol for lose to twenty years now, but now (after having thyroid gland removed due to follicular cancer at the end of last year), I'm having the exact same symptoms taking the Welchol tablets as you described (I thought it might have been dyspagia brought on by the Levothyroxine I'm forced to take now).

You may want to ask the doc if he can try a bile binding resin like questran or somehting like Welchol. There's also the possibility that calcium could help. But it has to be in a specific form and take ant specific times of the day. Google 'lnape and calcium,' and look at the information provided. The contraindication would be if he has a history of kidney stones or parathyroid problems.

Could not do anything or go anywhere where there was only 1 bathroom, or God forbid, no bathroom, ruined my life. 2 things can help in my experience. 1 - get Cholestyramine powder from your doctor. Works wonders, 1 packet first thing in the morning in 4 ounces of juice. no running, will change your life. or 2 - Go on a low carb, high fat or Keto diet. Seems that carbs, and possibly carbs and wheat may cause the running. I do not have a problem with fat.

I am new to this and haven't written about anything.I have been treated for fibromyalgia for over a year now. The dr. never really stated I have fibro. I'm being treated for high cholesterol and trigylcerides. I'm taking welchol powder once a day and trilipex for this. I'm taking lyrica 150mg. bid and mirapex at bedtime. I went to get a lab slip yesterday for blood work and was informed i needed to be fasting for my cholesterol and trigy. levels.

Can anyone explain to me why I still had a heart attack even while taking the following meds atenenol 50mg bid, HCTZ 25mg daily, zetia 40mg daily, plavix 25mg daily, welchol 625mg bid. Also what is the chance of a second heart attack My Aortic Valve, Tricuspid Valve, and my Mitral Valve are failing because they are stenotic and regurgitative. The Aortic valve is in the worst shape of the three they tell me. I have psoriatic arthritis and ankolosing spondylitis. all joints are involved.

I have an answer for you. I too had my GB out, and soon after had the same symptoms. I DIAGNOSED IT myself....not much initial help from the gastro MD. It is called "biliary diarrhea". It's fairly common, surprisingly. Apparantly has no reflection on the quality of the surgery (I had the short cut method). However, good news: I've beern able to control it, for which I do give gastro MD credit....The cholesterol drug Welchol. Without it I'd be housebound!

One is to decrease the amount of fat you take in. In addition, you could ask your doc if you could try some questran, or another form of bile-binding resin. Another thing to try might be Welchol.

Ask your doctor about Welchol; it's a cholesterol medicine that binds bile salts. I had mine taken out in February of last year and tried to "tough it out," but after a doctor put me on Welchol, I rarely ever get sick after eating.

09 conference that Doxy encouraged the spirochetes to form cysts. In another study, she compared Doxy to a handful of other popular meds for Lyme and what percentage of spirochetes and cysts were killed and published the results. There are also some cool pictures of spirochetes, colonies, and "ring forms" where 1 or 2 spirochetes curl up in a ring. It is interesting and creepy at the same time.

She has a headache everyday of her life and goody powders is the only thing that helps it. She is taking way to many in a 24 hour period and I am very concerned for her health. Is there something I can substitute the Goody Powder with that will not be harmful to her? I have talked to her over and over about how these powders are not good for her. This is my last resort.

Or if you have a good vitamin supply store hand where you can get one in powder form with no soy,yeast,corn, salt etc, so it's safe for cats. The older cat can use 500 mg mixed in her food the kittens you'll need to use less...probably 250 mg mixed with a drop of water and given by syringe or dropper. They will need to use this for weeks (6-10) the brand I buy from iherb is by NOW foods.

they are a heavy form of asprin in a form of a powder, a lot of older people swear by them...they take headaches away in no time if you can bear the taste of them...I would think they are bad for your stomache but I'm no doctor.

I am just curious, My Vit D is in powder form. Which one is better and effective for hbver's in gel or powder form? Appreciate again!

I know the gel far exceeds the powder form, but, how I can I get a good dose of CQ10 without the soy. I am supposed to take 100 mg 3 times a day.

Lipitor caused severe muscle weakness, Zetia caused all kind of digestive problems and Pravachol zapped my energy...my count actually went up 30 points while taking WelChol! My doctor is telling me that I have no other choices of medicine to lower my count (total 285, HDL 106 VLDL 21, LDL 188, Triglycerids 106.) My sister is having the same problem so I guess this problem is a family thing. I am really troubled by my doctor's lack of concern.

I HAD MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED IN DEC OF 09 I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS EVERY SENSE. everything I EAT COMES RIGHT BACK OUT. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO GO WHILE IA M EATING. NOW I HAVE TO HAVE A COLONOSCOPY.

I am curious if you tried cholestramine or welchol pills for detox? I use the welchol because I can't drink liquid meds.

I have a white golden retriever/yellow lab mix dog. He has had trouble with hot spots. In the last visit with the vet., she recommended treating the spots with the Chinese herb coptis in powder form. I'm willing ti do it, but finding this product in a store is hard.

Stents stay in place for your life time, but they CAN block. They can form scar tissue and block, or a clot can form. Same with your bypass grafts, they can block and veins can close up. I had a triple bypass and three months later I had an episode while out walking. It lasted around 4 mins, but then seemed to settle down. I had angina from that time again. I told the surgeon who said "there is nothing wrong with your bypass, ECG normal, and so there's nothing I can do".
