Been taking Colestipol since gallbladder removal 11/03/11, and still have massive problems with?

... diarrhea. Have had chronic IBS for years and my gastro said it may take a long time for my system to recover. Meantime, my weight just keeps dropping (weighed 144 at surgery - 128 now), and I avoid all foods with fat. I am afraid to eat at times actually. Anyone relate to this nightmare?

Can colestipol tablets be cut in half for easier swallowing without losing strength?

These pills are large and hard to swallow. It would be easier to cut them in half and take half at a time however have been told some cannot be cut due to losing their strength. I don't understand this concept, but would like to verify.

Are colestipol and welchol the same thing?
