| LOL. I thought you either mis-typed "question" or were just being funny, i.e. I have a "questran". I have no idea what that is. Sorry. Just thought it was funny.

| I do. I put it in a few ounces of water with Crystal light mix. It is kind of gross, but I just drink it fast. It is too early to tell if it is helping yet. I have only taken three doses. Worth a shot though. I am also on Cipro, Cimzia and lomotil. |

| I have taken Questran (Prevalite) for a year now. It comes in small 4g packets or a can with a 4g scoop. I take my other meds in the morning and this at night. If taken together it will render the meds eneffective by encapulating them. I take it in about 3 tbls of water. Its purpose is to dry out the fecal matter so too much water taken with it will defeat its purpose. The best side effect is I have really low Cholestrol. Dave
