So this happened a few weeks ago after eating dinner, I'm not goig to write much due to the fact im in agony right now & I cant sit/stand still for a certain amount of time. I have pain in my stomach like something is pushing against it, like food is stuck too. the only time it seems to go is when I be sick, but once i've done being sick the pain is back.

Is there a name to this or anyway to help reduce the pain?

Thanks for reading, Brad.

    Sounds like these tablets are not agreeing with you, for sickness and diarrhea sound like your eating to much fat in your meals sadly this is all this medication does is get rid of excess fat out of your food, I was on these a few months had no luck so started to just cut my calories and exercise. I would seek your drs advice here because if they are making you feel this unwell then it's not worth it. If they do weight management at you local hospital ask to get referred to them I was 19stone in feb this year I'm now 13stone5 with their help send advice I was able to make the changes I needed and avoided a gastric band x
