Just prescribed ACTIGALL for gallstone prevention

I was just started on this medication by my surgeon at 8 weeks post op. I am wondering who else is taking this drug and what your experience with it has been. So far I am finding that it tastes better in applesauce than yogurt but it is very bitter and seems to upset my stomach no matter what.

no one else is on a gall stone prevention medicine?

I took it it the first six months. I didn't notice that it upset my stomach, but it took from the second day post op. My tummy was sensitive post op, but not a lot more than anyone else's, except I still can't do much dairy roger tat garden cheeses and Greek yogurt.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I am going to ask my Surgeon about putting me on it at my first po office appointment. I will be about 2 weeks out then. Anything is worth it in my book if it will help prevent a repeat visit to the OR to remove the gallbladder.
