    I have read that Cit also contains lactose. Have you ever had any sensitivity to milk/dairy? 

    I am mildly lactose intolerant, and get the same side effects every afternoon. Bloating, gas, discomfort.  Same happens when I drink regular milk. 

    Anyway, I hope that may have helped. 

    Best wishes.

    Since you've been on them since January and the stomach issues started recently, I think it's unlikely to be caused from the Citalopram.

    Maybe it's due to a change in your diet?

    Hi Maria Cita always affects my stomach and its never gone away its one of the few side effects that I have accepted. Peppermint tea, lacto free milk and watching what I eat helps.

      Well it’s only really started this past 2 weeks so not sure if it’s down to the cit I will see what the doctor says I do drink plenty of water but will try the peppermint tea thanks for the reply x
