welchol

Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn It turned out to be the welchol I had started on to decrease my cholesterol. I felt bloated, constipated, a little dizzy and a fast heart rate every late afternoon and evening. I was very fatigued and just felt lousy all over. I have to admit that the pressure feeling in the esophagus was the scarriest.
268356 tn?1236002604 I had the same issue and have been on this powder for 5 years and have never had an issue since. (Powder is inexpensive and has no side effects...except lowering your cholesteral because that was its original intention when it was made...
401016 tn?1201451802 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn he quit smoking after 20 years, they have him on meds( he has a high intolerence for statins, but he is taking a med called Welchol it is a powder he mixes in water and drinks everynight), he exercises everyday alternating with cardio and strength training, he did rehab for 4 months, i have completly changed how he and my whole family eats. his blood pressure is almost perfect averageing at 119/78 with a pulse rate of 82. his cholesterol levels are good except his trigliserides(spelling?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I did not have any problems until then. I suffered with IBS for years until my Gastro doctor put me on Welchol and it is wonderful I take 3 pills a day and I can get anything I want and I don't have any IBS episodes anymore. I am not afraid to go out anywhere anymore. But I have another problem.
Avatar f tn I am curious if you tried cholestramine or welchol pills for detox? I use the welchol because I can't drink liquid meds.
Avatar m tn the first two times, there were a few blockages - 10, 18 and 20% The last time was in December 2013 with a different cardiologist (I moved across the state) and he said I had NO blockages at all. HUH??? My lipid profiles are still horrible even with medications. Pravacol, Tricor and Welchol. His answer for this question was: "Those medications took the blockages away." Of course, I am no doctor but this seems funny to me.
Avatar n tn It can take up to a year for the digestive system to get back to normal after the gall bladder is removed. Severe diarrhea, especially after meals, is common, but eventually that part will level out. A medication called cholestyramine was prescribed to me for this. It might help. I had to take less than the recommended dose - it can cause constipation. It's a powder you mix with a drink or with food.
939489 tn?1260887943 I would buy a can of powder formula and make your own. It takes only moments and is much more cost effective. You can also make them ahead of time. They start on the can that they are good for a full 24 hours. If you go out and about use the little freezer packs and carry bag that will come in your going home hosp gift bag and pop a pre-made bottle in there to go with you.
1139187 tn?1355706647 I have about 600 welchol tablets that my insurance company accidently over-sold me. I cant take this medication any longer. It was prescribed to me because of gallbladder removal. Can I do anything with this medication since I will not be taking it? Its in 3 huge , sealed bottles.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn You have four choices.
Avatar f tn 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.
1512574 tn?1342608485 I like to place spices on my chicken for flavor such as Fox Point which is a onion powder, scallion mixture and some BBQ spice powder. I order my spices from Penzy's because they have the best spices anywhere. (* see note) Bok Choy is cabbage. It is an oriental cabbage that I really like rather than the big heads. I also steam cook this cabbage in kitchen basic chicken broth and a little spray of Braggs Amino Acid.
Avatar m tn s been undergoing a Welchol treatment for the last 5 to 6 months and has only been able to take 1/2 pack every second day due to the pain but she feels she's on the right path. I, of course, am doubtful, been that route before. Again, thank you for taking so much time for us and for the others you help.
2055843 tn?1332427915 t even pronounce let alone afford on an ongoing basis. My Remedy is just put a little Boric Acid Powder in a salt shaker, Buy yourself a soft brush for washing your face. Use a little ivory or any gentle soap on the brush sprinkle a little of the powder onto the brush -Emphasis being a little; scrub your face and thoroughly rinse when you are done. Sprinkle cold water on your face to close the pores. The only Face Cream you will ever need in your life is (Aloe Vera Gel) use it and you will be.
Avatar n tn I FIND A WARM DRINK HELPS EASE DISCOMFORT AND ICE LOLLIES MADE WITH GATORADE HELP REDUCE ANY PAIN SHE MAY HAVE ALSO I USE ORALDENE WHEN MY MOUTH IS BLEEDING AS A KING OF PREVENTATIVE FROM IFECTION. BUT SALT WATER ALSO GOOD. ALSO YOU KNOW WHEN A BABY IS TEETHING YOU GET THIS POWDER CALLED ASHTON POWDER FROM THE CHEMIST . WELL I RUB THIS INTO MY GUMS WHEN THEY ARE SORE AND IT SEEMS TO REALLY HELP REDUCE INFLAMATION AND DISCOFORT.
Avatar m tn I believed that it was due to a lack of shower for 2 days or even a reaction to the baby powder I was using, but soon enough I began to develop more and more of these zit like things. My girlfriend is equally concerned/disguisted with their presence and is avoiding me in fear of contracting them herself. They have now spread to my butt and seem to be growing in number.
