It binds to the bile that use to be stored in the gall bladder. My Dr. said that the bile is just like having a laxative all the time, for some people. The Welchol has been like a miracle for me! I can actually eat out now without having to run right to the bathroom. It would be worth you time to check it out. I hope you get help soon!
Wow! I wish they'd had that after my surgery.
