I take Colestipol dose at 1 gm every morning. It works for me. I take Revlimid 15 mg level MM maintenance.
Revlimid caused chronic diarrhea issues for me. I took it for four years after my stem cell transplant. The only thing that helped was Imodium. After my relapse, I started a new regimen with Pomalyst, rather than Revlimid. Pomalyst has been much kinder to my gut.
They gave me that as well, It reminded me of Tang, I could barely tolerate it after a while. In the end I would mix it with apple juice. There is something similar to this a lady mentioned she took, I am going to ask my doctor about it. It was Colestipol 1 gm if that is just a pill & not this mix, I would want to try that. I'm wondering after all these years, what the Imodium is doing to me 🥺 You would think they would have this all figured out by now. Why are doctors so surprised I still have this issue, or the issue at all is what confused me. Thank you! Patty
Tom it is unfortunately a problem for many. My husband takes cholestyramine as well.
Hi Patty, thanks for your reply. Good info to know I can take more Imodium than I do!
