Hi...
I myself have had no terrible side eefects...Occasionally have a little
gas, and some diarrhea..nothing traumatic, I can still leave the house,
without having to rush home. And I have to tell ya, I lost 10 1/2
pounds in 48 hours, and I am not joking...I don't know if it was water
weight or what. Anyway, it was the best thing I ever did..Deb
