 AB    Chronic diarrhea and weight loss are common in patients with AIDS. We
       report on an AIDS patient with chronic diarrhea, steatorrhea, and marked
       weight loss. A 75SeHCAT test demonstrated that the diarrhea was mainly
       due to bile acid malabsorption. Therapy with cholestyramine dramatically
       reduced bowel movements and led to significant reversal of weight loss.
