Good news! They both work. Everyone is different.I myself have been on some form of Questran for 4years.I had my gallbladder out in 97. For two years I had D. Had the colon only to find out it was clean as a whistle.So they put me on the Questran and my life is back to normal. Well as normal as can be.I have been on the Colestid tablets but its not as effective for me as the Questran powder.Also I have been on the Calcium tabs but I just had a kidney stone surgically removed. So I was advised to watch out on the calcium supplements.Keep trying the Questran. I noticed a difference in a few days. I still have D at times but it is under more control with the Questran.Good Luck!Vamplady

I take one scoop a day. In the morning but I may be adding a second one in the night. I seem to have most of my troubles in the a.m. but as soon as I take the Questran my gut settles down and I have no troubles all day.

Yes. I do get heartburn. But I find if I eat it with a meal(take mine in applesauce) I don't seem to get as much heartburn or upset stomache.My mother in law is a nurse. She advised me to do this to minimize the symptoms.
