Cripes.
I have never taken it, but I know about it. I guess you're really not eating low fat if you're having that side effect. I don;t think it will stop (unless you change diet), as that is its point.

could you use a sanitary towel but put it further towards the back to catch any seepage?

are you spreading the daily intake of fat, carbs and protein evenly over the 3 meals you have?

I have kept a diary of food from yesterday, and i think apart from the bread at breakfast and the steak at dinner it should have been fine. had fat free yogurts and salad most of the day. do have semi skimmed milk in my coffee. maybe its that. headed back to see nurse on Monday so can ask her. im clearly not as healthy as i thought i was.

A friend of mine could not eat certain things on it even if they were low or no fat. Eggs were the worst for her but bizarrely melon caused her problems too.

I think if you eat your daily allowance in one meal that can cause problems too.

it was probably the having steak in one meal as you arent supposed to have more than 30% of your meal as fat. From googling you are supposed to spread the fat content over all your meals e.g. a small amount of fat in each meal rather than a large amount of fat in one meal
