Vere,How multiple are we talking here? I, too, have been helped tremendously by Questran. What has become normal for me is one good old-fashioned normal BM shortly after breakfast followed about one hour later by an urgent, looser, messier one and if my luck is good for the day, that's it. If I miss my Questran dose, I will have to go as many as 10 times in the morning. Are you taking enough Questran? Or, could it be food aggravation?
MULTPLE BM's, HELP
Ive been on questron for the last year, it tahes away the D but i have multiple bowl movements, Ive tried Robiul, lomotil, pentasa, levebid, sandostatin,and paxil. With no results.Tried zofran but had very bad cramps any suggestion?

I take 3 packets a day, and have as many as 3to 8 a day mostly in the morning
Vere--I usually only take one packet of Questran per day, usually in the evening. However, if I will be going out to dinner or someplace special, I will take a packet in the afternoon. Perhaps you should reduce your dosage and see if it makes a difference? I have this dim memory that when I first started on Questran I was on 2-3 packs a day and found that uncomfortable, but I am having trouble remembering exactly.
you could try one of the tricyclic antidepressants such as elavil or imipramine.imipramine really helped my D and i had tried questran and paxil with no improvement.
