"The drug was prescribed to me 1 g per day for urgent diarrhea a few years after having my gallbladder removed. This has helped tremendously, sometimes causing the opposite effect of constipation, however, the bonus for me is I have not had normal cholesterol levels, specifically LDL, for over 20 years, and this medication shot me into somewhere I’ve not been since my 30s-40s. It’s amazing for lowering cholesterol, specifically for me the bad (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides - if you can tolerate the side effects, if you have any, I highly recommend it."
