HI
I personally take it after I've eaten. Thats what my Endo said, and I've just always kept it that way.

My Doctor told me that what little benefits you would gain absorption-wise by taking it on an empty stomach, would probably be lost through side effects. Unless you have a total tummy of steel, your odds of absorbing it without problems are higher with some food in you or with food.
Good luck!

My experience has been that the side effects are less if I take it in the middle of a meal. Put in a little food, take the pill, and then finish my meal. I don't know if there is really anything to it, but it seems to help me.
