Brief Answer:
Do you mean stool incontinence or urinary incontinence?

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

A possible side effect of cholestyramine is diarrhea. More common is constipation but some people can get diarrhea from it.

Is this what you are referring to or do you mean urinary incontinence?

If this is a significant problem for you, you may want to talk with your doctor about it.
