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

My cholesterol numbers have always been very well in range, sometimes very low. But my doctor started me on a statin last week because I am "over 65 years old". Within two days, I started "leaking". Granted, I have always had problems and take a large number of lomotil daily. But now, I can't leave the house, much less the bathroom. And I wake up during the night to take a shower and change my sheets, which is new.

If there is a statin that is slowing the activity of the J-pouch, I would like to know about it and discuss it with my doctor.

Thanks
