Orlistat Symptoms

[DearChloe]

Has anyone has issues with taking 120mg of orlistat (instead of 60mg)? I went straight in with 120mg thinking it'd be better but I've had some quite severe symptoms and now my gall bladder can't quite do it's job in time as the orlistat triggers a 'movement' so quickly. The nurse I spoke to said the dosage might be too much... Anyone else had changes in colour?? (I'm trying to not be so graphic so I hope you can catch my gist!

I've used Orlistat for a long time on and off. I've always used 120mg - the 'quick' movement is what Orlistat does! An Orlistat poo can often be bright Orange oil! Not always but sometimes depending upon level of Fat in what you've eaten! Also, can make you very 'windy'!

My friend tried it and aid she was shitting orange oil, and leaking it too. She didn't last long on it.

Well, I had all that, I had the bright orange, the bright green but the recent change that made me worry was no oil at all for the past week and pale, like lost all its colour.... I think it's stopped working or working too quickly...!

@DearChloe Nope I've had the very pale ones too! Usually when diet is good and there isn't much fat in it - are you making sure to take vitamins alongside it?
