Orlistat and IBSm

Hello members,

I have had diagnosed IBS for some time now, originally IBSd but now is more like IBSm.

I am about to start a course of Orlistat 120mg capsules. I am a little overweight.

I’m wondering if anyone here has experience of this medicine.

Thanks

I tried it but it made my IBS worse with diarrhea every day so I had to stop it.

Thank you Dollymae06, for your reply.

I am sorry that was your experience - I’m concerned that it will be similar for me.
