I have been taking Alli for one week and have not exceeded the 15 grams of fat per meal (I am very careful not too) but I have persistent uncomfortable stomach/gastro issues such as gas (and yes, I am afraid to fart sometimes in case of the unwanted side effect, which I have not experienced as of yet).
Here is how I feel at every meal:
bloated/gassy
rumbling in my stomach/gastro area
foul smelling gas and bowel movements
heartburn and I have not heard anyone yet complain about that, but I am getting it and never have before???!
I am a 42 year old male, who is 6'2", 223lbs and lost about 7 pounds over a month ago and so tried to add this on to see if I could drop another 7 in the next month. I do excercise, which gets easier as you get thinner and will see this through a month to see if it makes a meaningful difference, if not, then I cannot put up with this discomfort. I believe in no pain no gain, so they should use the slogan pain = no gain (LOL). Trying to stay upbeat about losing weight and getting healthier.
