I have just started taking alli.

Re: The warning message not to take alli if you have gall bladder problems.

 I had my gall bladder removed over 3 years ago.  Is is ok for me to take alli?

Hi Barb0612,

As the Alli warning label states, you should not take Alli if you have had gall bladder problems in the past without consulting with your physician first.  Some people who have had their gall bladders removed may have a problem absorbing nutrients from their food and can be at a higher risk of treatment effects.  There have been many individuals who  have taken Alli with no gall bladders and have had no problems. Again, it is recommended that you check with your physician first.

Best of health.

 Thanks for your input.  I have stopped stop taking alli until I talk to my DR next month, as the 2 days I was taking alli, I experienced severe cramping about 15 min after eating that lasted for about 1 hr after each meal.
