Hi Jan, I'm just trying to scope out a reason for the change I'm experiencing. I've even wondered if I somehow magically picked up some friendly bacteria that changed my gut and slowed the passage of food. I've pretty much cut the dosage of Immodium for 6 a day to 3 or 4 and a physical exam found nothing amiss. The 40mg statin is the only thing that's changed so I'm trying to determine if anyone else might have had the same experience when beginning a stain. Jeff
