You may not have any but I have been nauseated and have had raging diarrhea along with gas and stomach cramps. I take my pill at night and stay home so I can spend some time in the bathroom. I'm getting caught up on my reading! I have also been very bloated. Immodium and GasX have really helped me. I am experimenting to see which foods work best when taking the med. I thought I wasn't going to be able to handle it but the Immodium and GasX has really helped me and it's not all that bad.

Talking it's not always so bad

I've been lucky to have only a couple of bad potty experiences and that was my fault for overloading on sugar I think. I was queezy in the mornings for a couple of weeks, but I played around with the times that I take my pills and what I eat in the a.m. I've been on just over a month and am doing fine. The benifits are well worth it for me.

i was really tired for the first week. would come home from work and crash. after two weeks that has basically gone away. i feel a little bit nauseated sometimes. the most pronounced side effect i have is that i have to go to the bathroom a lot more (for #2). at least 3 or 4 times a day, usually after every meal. but nothing unbearable.
