What Is The Remedy For Stomach Cramps And Diarrhea When Onj Welchol?

I have been on Welchol. I have had stomach cramps and diarrhea. Can this be from the medication? My doctor told me to stop the Welchol, how long before I will see some relief and is there anything I can take in the meantime to stop the diarrhea?

It could be because of medication but nothing to worry. Do as your doctor said. You can take prebiotics and probiotics to get comfort from it.
