Has/is anyone taking Colestyramine?

I have just been started on this today and although the flavour is manageable the texture isnt.
I mixed it with 4 floz of water, but its slimey, lumpy and makes me heave, there is no way I can take this 3 times a day.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix the texture so I can take this?

Thanks

Hi my husband was in this and so was my fil husband has servere bile acid malabsorption. He did not get on with it at all. We went back to gp who gave him Colesevelam Tabs instead. They put him on sachets of Colestyramine to star as they said it was cheaper than the tabs! But if you really dont get on with the sachets ask to change. If your wretching on the stuff its never worth it!
