My new prescription provider only covers Cholestyramine Light but I have been using Cholestyramine powder for many years.
What is the difference between Cholestyramine and Cholestyramine Light?

Cholestyramine Light is made with Nutrasweet. I believe the regular Cholestyramine contains sugar.

The powder form is going to distribute way more quickly throughout your system rather than the pill, which very well could be more of a time release, different dosage administration and so on... need to recheck with your pharmacist with these questions and if there is an ongoing problem I would go back to what works...

I had my gallbladder removed 7 years ago and regret it dearly. I discovered a natural cure shortly afterward but now I have to live with malabsorption of my bile. My pharmacist explained I will need a prescription from my doctor for cholestyramine for the rest of my life. I am not happy with this situation. My Gastro or surgeon never mentioned this. I am not just gonna sit back and accept this condition. I have used enzymes for years and a couple days ago I heard of a doctor that has designed a line of enzymes for different medical issues. I bought some and this is my second day.
So far so good no cholestyramine and I feel fine. I just take a capsule before each large meal.
