Re: "oily discharge and an inability to control bowel movements"

While CBS Newz donates this free ad space to a new diarrhea pill, we can't help but notice that at least 5 more U.S. soldiers are dead in Iraq today, along with one downed U.S. fighter jet.

#####

In other interesting Newz today, CBS is reporting that "Stocks Close The Week On A Roll- Tepid Inflation Numbers Send Wall Street To Third Straight Big Gain"

CBS forgot to provide a comment section for that article, so I would like to post a URL for a related article here:

"It%u2019s Official: The Crash of the U.S. Economy has begun"

Straight from the Mayo Clinic - enough to make me NOT want to go near this stuff alone!

"You may experience bowel changes when taking Alli. Ads and marketing materials refer to these changes as "treatment effects". These side effects can include"

-Gas with an oily anal discharge
-Loose stools or diarrhea
-more frequent bowel movements
-hard to control bowel movements

These bowel changes result from the undigested fat going through your digestive system. You can limit the side effects by eating a low-fat diet."

Uh.....YUCK! You should hede shanev137's advice if using!!!!! :O)

Better package these pills along with some Depends diapers. LOL

I guess we will all know who's taking these pills.

As long as this is clearly printed on the bottles, I don't see anything wrong with selling it.

I am willing to bet that most people will stop taking the medication after a short period of time. The reason being that they will not change their dietary habit. You need to eat a low fat diet, otherwise the main side effect- diarrhea- will occur. I'm sure the company is banking on that and will only make it available in packages which will contain about a month's supply so they can reap some hefty profits.
