I had my gallbladder removed December 2019. Recently was diagnosed with bile acid diarrhea and was prescribed cholestyramine to take in the morning. It has changed my life!! But I also take Synthroid for hypothyroidism in the morning. My question is, has anyone changed from AM to PM dosage and more importantly, was there any change in bowel motion habits from the time change? Or any side effects from taking in PM? Also, can I ever drink coffee again, even decaf is fine lol!!
Can I take cholestyramine at dinner instead of at breakfast?

I checked drug interactions on drugs.com, and it may interfere with the absorption of Synthroid.

I read that too, that's one reason I'd like to take Cholestyramine at night since I take Synthroid first thing in morning. But I'm doing so well taking cholestyramine in the morning an hour after my Synthroid, I don't want to mess up!
