This is all very helpful to me (age 78) who has struggled with so many issues for so long. Sometimes, follow your "gut instincts" on what feels right and wrong is the answer. So much trial and error. Be sure to see if statins are causing issues. They have for me years! I stop taking them and many issues go away. Doc puts me back on low and different doses and my issues return. I've just stopped them again and have found my gastrointestinal issues are waning. No more nausea for a week! It's amazing how bodies differ in "processing" drugs. My body reject all statins since I was first given them for cholesterol in my 30's. Anyone else have these similar problems? Affects all G.I. issues.

Wow you're speaking to the choir. I just had to stop my Livalo the only statin that I thought my body could tolerate. I think I've tried them all. Either bad muscle pain or diarrhea. I just stopped again because even though no muscle pain the diarrhea is back. I have IBS-D and have been gluten free for 15 years and watch everything I eat carefully. If I can't tolerate regular statins my cardiologist is going to put me on the new injectables which aren't supposed to have as many side effects. But they are very expensive and she will have to jump through hoops to get medicare to cover it.
