pulled from a Boston Globe article today :-X

People will take Alli three times a day, with meals that contain about 15 grams of fat. (That's the amount of fat in two tablespoons of peanut butter.) Alli works by blocking fat absorption. Eat too much fat, however, and the drug's dreadful side effects can kick in: oily gas and such sudden, uncontrolled bowel movements. Glaxo suggests that new Alli users wear dark apparel and have a change of clothes ready.

ummm....okay, how did this pass through like test markets?..who thinks it is okay to maybe poop your pants in an important meeting or at a social gathering...or anytime for that matter. :

OMG...OILY GAS? Uncontrollable BMs? Yeah, I would not think it would be worth it!!!

Wasn't there another diet additive that did the same thing?

There's also this: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/09/26/health/webmd/main885446.shtml

ultrasound turns your fat into water!

Squish squish squish

 

[zoesmom]

no thanks.

 

[YellowJakesMom]

Aren't those the same side effects that people were warned about experiencing if they took that drug for dog obesity?

Yuck, I think I'd pass.

 

[MickeysMom]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why does that song "Slip Sliding Away" keep coming to mind??? ;D

 

[imported_bearsdad]

[imported_delmonico]

I can't imagine pooping myself and considering the option to leave it there because I had on dark clothing. :-X

What do they do?? With each "accident" chant to yourself..."I'm losing weight, I'm losing weight"..

Yuck, I think I'd pass.

Something advertised on TV - can't remember if it was food or a drug - has some kind of 'anal leakage' warning. This Alli goes in the same category for me - not gonna try it.

 

[Puebla]

Ewwwwwwww!!!!!!

 

[Paula]

:-X

 

[Buddy and Bailey]

there was another drug that did the same thing and my friend tried it. Many times she almost didn't make it. Not for me. She gained all her weight she loss back as well

 

[Jinx]

I remember that first one. I never wanted to lose weight that bad. Sure, you're thin, but you'd have no friends. Who wants to hang out with someone that shits themselves?

O. M. G. It's the "wear dark clothes and have a change of clothes" warning that bothers me the most!
