I had my GI doctor prescribe Colestipol for me because the Cholystermine gives me very bad socially embarrasing gas. But for some reason the pharmacys are having a hard time ordering this medicine. Has anyone else had this problem and if so why? Do you know what the deal is? I am so frustrated. For now I will have to stick with the Cholystermine. I guess I will just try reducing my dose and hopefully this will work.

I have been on Questran for some time. If I switch to the generic -- I get bad gas like you described. As long as I take the name brand -- I am fine.

Hope this helps.
