Hi everyone ive been on xenical almost 2 weeks, for the 2nd time in 2 years. The first time i had horrible effects(oil etc)this time im on a low fat diet but have slipped up a couple of times and have had nothing but severe constipation and wind. has anyone had similar experience or any advice many thanks in advance
I'm new to this forum also and has been really helpful looking through the feeds especially this one.
I've lost 2 stone on Xenical so far and get great support from my Practice nurse.
My problem is I also have constipation with the capsules but I find it hard to eat enough fat as I'm vegetarian and eating half fat cheese etc brings on the side effects to the other extreme. My nurse suggested using laxatives if it was really bad but this is not a route I want to go down.
hi suru u cud try sprinkling bit bran on fruit or in yoghurts thats wot i used to do when i took x im now on reductil...but i dont feel its doing any better than x did! good luck
