if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

- freeze_thaw — genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here,… 22:17
- freeze_thaw — i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, ymmv 22:18
- fibre_first — week 9 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle 22:55
- freeze_thaw — a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, your mileage will differ 23:58
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, ymmv
protein
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
update from 5 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
ok so powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
ok so whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
right so i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
magnesium
week 9 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, ill dig out the number
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, ymmv
update on the earlier thing is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, your mileage will differ
