Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 As I have posted before, Questan is cholestyramine powder, originally developed to lower cholesterol. It's a bile absorber. Many of us have free flowing bile in our GI tracts that causes the squitters. That's British for the runs. Hospitals often give it to cancer patients who suffer with diarrhea during chemotherapy. It's not the most pleasant product, but it does work. And it can constipate. I used the orange flavored sugar free packets. I find it very tolerable when mixed in a little skim milk or applesauce. As far as mixing it in milk is concerned, I learned in the manufacturer's newsletter to do that with a fork. -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I gained a pound this past week. But, you know what I did? I had gotten the blocks of lowfat cheese instead of buying the pre-shredded stuff, and I ate two whole blocks of cheese!! I just sat there eating and eating them. Plus, it was my hubby's vacation, and we went out to eat once, and went to a church coffeehouse where I had hotdogs (no roll), which are high in sodium. So, I figured I might not have done so well. I'm just going back to buying the pre-shredded cheese, even if it has potato starch in it, since I'm not tempted to eat that. The blocks of cheese are just too tempting. I remember on Atkins, they said not to exceed 4 ounces of hard cheese a day, as it can be a diet buster. So, it's back to watching how much cheese I eat! ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Yup, it is definately a diet buster for me. I seem to gain two pounds by morning if I eat too much, plus it constipates me horribly. I do much better the shredded cheese also but have to remember not to put it on everything I eat. lol Carol weight I gained a pound this past week. But, you know what I did?
