Hi Proud,Yes we have it here in the states. I took it (called Questran) for a while. It did help considerably. The only reason I stopped taking it was because I was introduced to Lotronex and I didn't want to be on both at the same time. I started with one scoop per day (in the morning) but had to move it to night due to the fact that it binds any other meds your taking if taken too close together. I take Synthroid for a low thyroid so I took that in the a.m. and Questran in the p.m.I eventually weaned myself down to less than 1/2 a scoop and was still doing well on it. The only side effect I had was dry mouth. Keeping lots of water around took care of that. I am no longer taking Lotronex but am now trying out calcium. The calcium is working well right now. If it stops working, it's back to Questran for me.Good Luck!------------------How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on...
