"Have suffered with on and off itching my whole life and antihistamines do not work as it is caused by over production of bile in my body. Doctors cannot figure out what is wrong with me but this stuff has been the best thing to help reduce the itching. I have only been taking this for a couple of days but I would say my itching has decreased a lot but I still have a bit of jaundice. I think after another weeks use I will be good, so would definitely recommend if you have unexplained Pruritus caused by bile salts."

"I had a rectal rash that pain pills were almost useless on and within 2 days of taking this medicine, my rash was gone. If I only take 1/2 dose a day, my rash reappears and is quite painful. I was told that due to having no gall bladder that my bile production doesn't vary according to the quantity of food consumed so I need to regulate it myself. This has done the job well."
