Questran Light Powder Packets: My Experience and Questions about Cholestyramine

I recently started taking Questran Light Powder Packets to help lower my cholesterol. So far, it's been a mixed experience. The powder isn't the most pleasant to take, but I've noticed some improvements in my cholesterol levels. However, I've been experiencing some mild constipation. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, what helped? Also, I've heard it can help with itching from liver conditions—anyone have experience with that? I'd love to hear from people who have tried it and have some insight!

I had no idea it could help with liver itching! That's a game-changer. I'll definitely bring this up with my doctor. Has anyone tried mixing it with something sweet to mask the taste?

Just started Questran and I'm already feeling the constipation. I'll try the fiber and water trick. Thanks for the tips, everyone!

I've heard that mixing it with applesauce or yogurt can help with the taste. Anyone tried that?

Faithfully on Questran. Constipation is rough, but I find prunes help a lot. I'm glad it's working for your cholesterol, though!
