 Things I learned the hard way
HI Linda!
Good news on the Met - it is the start of good things for many. Here's what I learned (from my own mistakes ugh) I take my dose (875 mg 2 x/day for me) AFTER I finish my meal. If I take it at the beginning, I'm headed fro the bathroom after 3-4 bites, if I take it in the middle, the second part of my meal gets the "express treatment LOL". The only way I avoid the diarrhea is taking it last. I also have to watch out for high fiber stuff like iceberg lettuce - try to balance your meal with protein and veggies so your body has something for the met to work on and it doesn;t just go right through :-)
Good luck!
Jen
