Should this be avoided if you're already a gassy person?

[bonniekins]

I can admit that I'm a typically bloated, gassy person by nature. I don't know if it's because I'm allergic to something I eat, if I have IBS or if that's just my natural reaction to food. Whatever the case, do you think I should probably avoid Alli due to the type of side effects that it can cause? The last thing I want is to make my bloating/gas issues worse. The reason I'm interested in taking it, is I've heard good things and I personally don't think other OTC diet supplements do much in terms of aiding with weight loss. At least this one contains an actual drug.

It probably would be a good idea to avoid it. If you've got IBS, chances are you're going to experience the icky side effects of this pill, even if you follow the directions correctly. Best case, if you truly want to know if it's the worth the risk for you, discuss your concerns with a doctor - or at the very least - your pharmacist.

If I had any digestive issues like IBS or anything like that I would personally avoid taking Alli. It's just not worth the risk. The side effects aren't fun when you don't have these issues, it's doubly not fun when you do.

I'm pretty sure it says on the official Alli site and on the directions that if you have IBS or digestive issues you shouldn't use it or, at the very least, consult with your doctor before taking.

Oh. Hahaha well I guess that settles it then. I also investigated this diet pill more and it doesn't seem to be nearly as good as I assumed. Apparently a lot of people don't like it. Also, I realized that it doesn't provide an energy boost, which is something I want because I struggle to find the motivation to exercise.

Glad you did more investigating :) Also, that's a good point about the lack of energy boosting and it is the main reason why I've never considered giving this diet pill a try. I just feel like it's side effects will be more trouble than they're worth for me.

I've always thought this way, too. Plus, once you go off it, whose to say you won't just go back to bad eating habits?
