Is there a medication to slow diarrhea after right hemicolectomy?

I was ask by my doctor to try cholestyramine powder. He said it is generally perscribed for high cholesteral as it binds with bile requiring the liver to use your body's cholesteral to make more bile. Since it binds with bile, it can reduce diarrhea caused by too much bile finding its way to the remaining colon. I also take prylosec with it. I still have diarrhea after having had a right hemicolectomy, but not as much as I had without these two medications. I find it better to take half a dose of cholestyramine twice a day instead of one full dose. It can be gas producing and constipating. It also binds with some medications, so don't take it within an hour of swallowing your pills! Howard Acosta.
