Hi,

Bit of a delicate question but has anyone experienced excessive flatulence since starting on Urso and if so have you found anything to help combat it that you can take with the Urso?

I have taken anti wind tablets when I am going somewhere quiet! They work fine.

I ve just had an increase in Urso due to weight gain now I seem to have the same problem, any answers or suggestions would be grateful.

I had severe flatulence problems, my consultant reduced my urso down from 900mg to 600mg a day, this caused my LFT bloods to increase, also the flatulence started to be as severe as it was before the urso was reduced. I am now taking 1,000mg a day to try and get my LFT bloods down but I am prescribed the ursofalk brand now as I was told I should be able to tolerate this brand better, I still have flatulence but not as bad as it was, we shall see if it starts to increase again.
