Alli / Orlistat / Xenical

(Ellen) #1

Has anyone on here ever used this? I did for a few months a couple of years ago (one of many failed attempts to lose weight). Every so often I have a recurrance of the worst side effects and now I’m upping my fats more it’s becoming more regular, does anyone have any advice on how to combat this? Nasty, not helpfull and quite worrying.

Ages ago when Alli went otc, I bought a package and then read all the reviews about side effects etc. I tossed it unopened. But I know what you mean :slight_smile:

Are you eating primarily supplemented fat, not eating fatty meats, but adding liquid fat to the meals? That could cause this, too much liquid fats.

Some soluable fiber might help if it is a serious issue. Have you noticed a meal or certain foods that give you that effect?

While it can sound like a broken record around here, how are your electolytes? Too much of something, not enough of something else?

Good luck sorting it out.

Thanks, I don’t eat a whole lot of meat, so most of my fats come from oils, I’ll have to try upping the fatty meats.

No, it’s no one thing in particular, could just be body getting used to it all I suppose.
