Colestid Reviews

"I was on Crohn's meds for decades. Telling my old GI about yellow, runny, and sometimes painfully acidic bowel motions didn't point him to any other diagnosis than Crohn's disease. Because of a move, I needed to change to a GI specialist that came to my small city. Her nurse practitioner put me on Colestid, and the change has been amazing. Stools no longer bright yellow. Stools firmer and about half what they were without it. Although previous surgeries have made it that my digestion will never be normal, it has certainly helped me. Plus, no liver damage caused by it. I rate it 10 out of 10."
