Does ANYONE have this side effect???

[Absinthe]

Hi, I have been taking phen for about 2 weeks now. I have read all of the postings here about sideffects and haven't seen anything about this. Since I have been taking the phen I cannot eat anything greasy or fried. I don't mean that I don't want it...I still kind of crave it. But, I mean I literally can't...because if I do (i know it's gross but...) I have terrible diarrhea and stomache difficulties. I have asked a few people about it who have taken diet pills, and they all say that only Xenical does that. But I am deffinately taking phen, has anyone else ever had this problem? Should I stop taking it??

HELP

Hey There,
Well I can agree that fried foods will do me the same way regardless if I was using Phen or not...Its such a bad feeling, so I just stay away from it...I think its normal to still crave certain foods,but here is the thing cut your portion in half,its hard to do but it gets easier....This side affect has not pushed me to stop taking the medication I'm having such great results...Try adding a little more fiber to your diet..I start off with a bowl of Cheerios in the morning or Rasin Bran depends on your taste,but it will help!! Hang in there...

Hey Absinthe, I also have been on Phen for almost 2 weeks and have the same problem. I have been scouring the boards and thought it was just me. It has been getting a little better though. I figure the positives far outweigh the negatives. Let me know how you are doing. Are you losing weight?

I had this my first week on phen. I think it may just be your body adjusting to the med. Mine went away. Give it time and it should go away.

Don't get me wrong - I am not complaining. If it keeps me from eating fried crap...and junk food then I am all for it. Because frankly the side effect is not worth the food.

Actually, I had that too and still get it from time to time. I just realize it's the price to pay from eating something with too much fat.
