I've recently been prescribed Welchol for elevated LDL cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. I'm curious to know how others have experienced significant improvements in their levels. The doctor mentioned that it binds to cholesterol and sugar in the gut to prevent absorption. I'm eager to learn more about real-life experiences, especially concerning side effects. What are the common side effects people encounter? And what are the most immediate improvements people saw? Your experience would be highly appreciated!
