Statins

Does anyone take statins and if so does it make IBS D worse

  1. I don't take Statins so I can't offer any advice, but just wanted to let you know that your question is seen, and I'm sure someone will offer some advice. In the meantime, I would definitely ask your doctor about it too. Best, Elizabeth (team member)

      1. I am currently on a statin and for the past 2 weeks I’ve not taken them daily like I had been.I’ve noticed an improvement in my stomach and bowel issues,I had been sick and was taking steroids and antibiotics but since the infection cleared up I feel normal. I know the steroids and antibiotics helped but I’ve been off them and I still feel normal so I think the statin was really messing me up,I’m going to talk to my doctor about it when I see her next month but until then I’m just not going to take them every day.
