I started with diarrhea a couple times a week then this past month terrible bloating and gas pains. My oncologist did reduce my dose to 300mg and that helped some. I have a CT scan in a week. I am taking a probiotic. My numbers are good at least. Glad to hear you are doing well.

For me not much other than loose bowels a couple days per week and some occasional nausea. If you are having problems managing the side effects let your team know. They may reduce the dose possibly. I read they have had to do this on occasion but don’t know if that decreases the effectiveness if the drug. Would taking probiotics help maybe? Just a suggestion!
