kaz,

ok so the leaflet says to take the bluey with your meal or up to an hour after. So if you take it with a meal does that mean you have just an hour to eat fat? Dunno if this is a dum question :oops: but im like looking at the clock thinking \"what time did i start eating!???

Confused.com!!! :? :? :?

    Hi Kaz

    I think you have up to an hour after eating to take the tablet as digestion begins almost as soon as you start eating, and in order for the tablets to work, they should be given the maximum time to 'get to work' on your food!! Hope that makes sense :lol: its probably safer to take it just before you start eating

    K :D
