Summary

Bile acid diarrhoea (BAD) is a socially debilitating disease with stomach pain, high stool frequency, urgency, and faecal incontinence as the main symptoms. Studies estimate that 1-2% of the population suffers from the disease. There is an unmet need for more treatment options in patients suffering from BAD. The investigators hypothesise that atorvastatin treatment lowers bile acid synthesis in patients with bile acid diarrhoea. The investigators will investigate this hypothesis in the current study, BASTA, which is a Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover, Proof of Concept, Investigator-Initiated, Trial.
