    hi collette i had cramp for the first couple of weeks never had any tummy bug with it though. It could be the tablets or stress? have you eaten anything not in date? have you eaten anything that isn't allowed x

      Hiya hun, the cramps in the tummy are like what i can only describe as period pains, but im not due. im in control of the loo runs so no accidents thankfully. my tummy feels like a washing machine churning. yesterday i had a green smoothie and that upset my tummy, think i overloaded the greens but im still running to the loo today. been recording everything on MFP and checking all under 5g. All but odd. i am seeing some oil in the pan - toooo much info, so guess ive eaten something that i have missed. x

      Hi collette if it's orange oil it's def something you have eaten it may be something you ate 3 days ago and is now coming out, drink water and flush it out i hope you feel better soon. Also as much as i love MFP i always input the cals/fat myself as someone can put the wrong info on there some things i have added on there before have been wrong so i always check the packet! x

      I bought fry light as well, I just automatically reached for the olive oil. Won't do that again. It's funny two days running I been out on the road with work and had to stop and get lunch so I pop in  the service station and then see the things that I would have normally picked up as I  come out with a  just a sandwich now, whereas before it would be just have bag of crisps, a chocolate, oooo might have a donut too, oh yes, wash that done with a latte - no wonder I'm fat lol  - really wanted a latte today but couldn't get MFP to work and didn't want to make things any worse loooool  xx

      Trust me it was only the 💩💩💩💩 that put me off Hun, I can't handle it any more loool 

      oooo that's sounds nice for a coffee treat. I haven't had any coffee as I need sugar in mine. Might try that when I next shop. We need a menu taster blog on here for a full creative idea on what to eat. There is a lot you can eat but get stuck in a rut with the same foods.

      I much prefer soy or nut milks instead of dairy milk I was going to put up a post on recipes but i didn't think anyone would be interested lol

      You can have sugar obviously within reason have you tried truvia?

      I was told you shouldn't drink soya all the time, it's not good. Nuitrishionst told me that. So I stayed away from it. I like goats milk.  No not tried truvia, or did you mean stevia or whatever it's called lol 

      Think peeps be glad of a food page, oh godmother orlistat 😃😃😃😉😉😉 

      think it should be done, everyone can add to it and be such a welcomed posting, I bet you xx

    Hey Collette,

    I have noticed that you have been having a rough time of things to initially but it is a learning curve and you just need to get over the hill then its all down hill from there smile.

    Water is the best medicine initially to flush anything out and detox your body of the fat etc but if it continues longer than necessary it might just be worth popping back to your doctor but I am sure it will pass and the weight will start dropping off.

    Take care xx

      Hi KTD,

      thanks for for the reply, much appreciated. Yeah few good days then a blip. I'm only in week 1 so early days for me, I guess. It's day two of loo running, so fingers crossed it stops by tmrw. Will increase the water intake to flush anything out. Xx

    Hi I had the same sort of problem for the first 2 months on Orlistat. I had tummy pains and felt very bloated. I didnt want to tell my GP incase he took me off the pills but it did eventually dissapear. I read up at the time and it seems to be a common problem.

    I was also constipated for a while but that cleared too, just do your best to grin and bare it as it does clear.
