Re: TO: Laurie/Chitosan info and bile acids

[Guest guest]

I would also be very curious about Dr. R's thoughts on this because I had

looked into it too. My concern is would it have the " effect " as Xenical if

you know what I mean? I don't see how it wouldn't.

Hi ,

I am not sure which Effect Xenical had for you:0) I never tried it,

but I did use a Chitosan product off and on for about 8 months before

surgery. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so for me the fiber really

helped and made things much more normal. I also took half doses when

I first started back on whole foods after surgery because I heard

warnings about diahhrea and the orange team. I had no problem with it

and no orangey problem becuase the fat was bound up in the fiber as it

went on through. I stopped it because it was one more thing to take

with all our supplements and I was no longer suffering with IBS. But

I had no ill side effects from it. I know everyone's systems are

different, but it balanced mine nicely. I am not sure if Xenical is a

fiber or a drug that changes the chemistry of the fat. There has to

be some big difference because it is a presrciption drug and Chitosan

products are not.

Just my experience. I also think I would try taking it differently,

like before bedtime when people seem to have the most trouble with

Bile Reflux and other reflux, rather than before every meal for the

fat loss effect. I do not know. I can't find anything yet that would

say it could hurt. I am hoping it will help somebody. I have no

reflux problems now, thank God.

Xenical puts you most definitely on the orange team in other words the fat

you eat comes out as it goes in sort of -

Since my mgb I've found that grease comes out sort of like it goes in, orange

greasy droplets in the stool. I was just happy that my body isn't absorbing the

fat. I don't do that anymore. I had hell to pay. I had ate some spagetti with

meat sauce on it. I spent a lot of time in the bathroom, lets say. Wasn't

quite worth the trouble.

Xenical puts you most definitely on the orange team in other words the fat

you eat comes out as it goes in sort of ---- in orange floating droplets in

the bowl! YUK! I may try Chitosan too because you're right from what I

read it sounds like it would cut down on bile in general - a good thing for

the gallbladder too I would think. The added weight loss benefit might not

hurt either!

BTW - I am officially in the Century Club - I weighed in tonight at Weight

Watchers at 198 - the first time I have been under 200 since 1994 when I got

pregnant with my first child!

Oh you're welcome. More info than you needed, huh? I was concerned about it at

first, that's mainly why I posted this - - - in case someone else has this

problem so they don't think something is drastically wrong. Sorry to gross you

out.

I see you are doing fine so happy for you. You take care and I will keep
