I have yet to have a TE and I am starting week 5...I have experienced some unacceptable gas a couple times but fortunately, I was at home and my daughter was the only one that had to put up with it. I truly believe that if you stay within your fat grams, there will be no TEs.

I agree with you Annie, staying within my target has shown me that in just one week I lost 3lbs.  At first I was thinking this isn't working, Im following my diet plan like its my bible or something and then this morning I was getting ticked cause I had no "accidents" everything was running smoothly and then I weighed myself.  WOW! I was totally shocked and very happy to see the results.  Some may think 3lbs is nothing but for me its the turning point for a whole new me.

We'll, I've been on the Alli plan for 1 week and 2 days.  For the 1st week, I only only had 2 bowel movements and they were very heavy and large.  Then, this morning I felt the need to pass gas and did, because I hadn't had any problems up to this point and ended up with an oily mess in my clothing!!  :*(

I'm trying to track what I had eaten yesterday that may have caused for that - it is really strange because I have purchased all fat free items on Thursday and have been eating fat free now instead of those items that have fat in them...

I'm a bit confused as to what it could have been... but, a word of caution... if you feel like you have to pass gas, GET TO A BATHROOM before you do!!

Sincerely,

TJ
