Matt Kelly answers when to stop taking cholestyramine or Welchol. He warns against long-term use because of gut side effects, and suggests food-based alternatives like humic and fulvic products, zeolite, charcoal, and probiotics instead.
Lori's asking me if I'm taking cholestyramine, how long should I be taking it for? Well, you must be working with a shoemaker doc if you're taking cholestyramine. A lot of us don't use cholestyramine or wellcol because I don't see a need for it and it literally creates new problems. But if you're on it, I would ask your doc what he wants, you know, time wise. But just know that there are options that aren't going to have the side effects and problems that cholestyramine can have in the gut and just regular binders. Like I still have these sitting here from other videos. But you know, binding up bile can be done with food and safe and natural binders. Not needing cholestyramine or welcome. So I use sludge, which is a pure humic and fulvic with no other ingredients. I use GI detox which is a nice blend of all the others. You know you're getting your I always forget once I'm going to read it. Zeolite, charcoal, aloe vera, apple, pectin, silica and more humic acid in that. And then I also for the harder for clean up the gut and like the harder mycotoxins like ochratoxin A, I also add in megasporebiotic and cellcor ctbiotic which both help work to detox in the gut and clean up, help balance the bacteria in there. So check with your doc, your practitioner that's prescribing you cholestyramine. But don't stay on it too long no matter what they say. If they've got you on it long term, I would say, hey, I'm going to talk to Matt or I'm going to find someone else that has some tools other than cholestyramine because it's not something you want to be on a long time. Hope that helps.
