My new LLMD has prescribed Welchol (twice daily) along with two antibiotics and lots of supplements.
I always thought that Welchol needed to be taken separately-- away from everything -- but my doc says:
"Welchol binds cholesterol and certain toxins. It may also bind to fat soluable vitamins like A,D,E. It doesn’t have much impact on antibiotics and many other medications which can be taken with it."
Has anyone else's LLMD told them that they could take Welchol with other meds? I'd hate to put myself through the torture of antibiotics, only to not have them be absorbed.
Thanks!

I'm on welchol. He said to take with food but away from vitamins. Didnt say anything else. I take it twice a.day.

I can't believe it wouldn't clear out any and all medications.
I was told to take it as I would take the CSM, but my body said NO to each! Posted by LaniMo (Member # 37384) on :
I'm not sure how I could take antibiotics, Welchol, and supplements ALL twice daily (but apart from each other).
Mathematically, I don't think I'm awake enough during the day!
Is two hours between supplements and Welchol enough?

According to Dr. S., the mold doc, two hours is plenty.

Yep two is fine. Im always watching the clock.

Take supps with the antibiotics. There are only a few supps you can't do that with.

What are the supps that CAN'T be taken with antibiotics?
I'm assuming probiotics? Vitamins?
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Probiotics, for sure. I'm really not sure about others. I took them no matter what.
