Christmas dinner, year two

Two things that helped me, neither of them clever: small amounts more often, and drinking a lot more than felt necessary.

Yes. All of this. I had the same in my third month and I remember thinking there was something specifically wrong with me, which there was not.

Mine lasted about seven weeks and then lifted over a few days. I cannot tell you why. I can tell you it lifted.

Similar here, and mine turned out to be a completely unrelated deficiency picked up on bloods.

I have been in this circle a year and this question comes round every few months. It is not a silly question. It is the question.

I asked my nurse the same question and she said something I have repeated ever since: that the aim is to keep you on treatment, not to get you up the schedule.

Yes to the burping. It is real, it is unbeautiful, and it does settle.

My pharmacist was more use than anyone. Ten minutes at the counter, no appointment, no charge.

Building on what the reply above wrote rather than answering the original question.

It got worse before it got better for me, which I wish someone had said. About ten days of worse.

For what it is worth, the trial data on this is thinner than the confidence of the internet would suggest. Worth knowing when you read the posts.

The phrase that unlocked my appointment was asking what specifically she wanted me to watch for. It moved us from reassurance to a plan in about thirty seconds.

Different experience here, for balance. Mine did not improve and in the end I stopped, and that was the right call for me. Both outcomes exist.

the reply above said something I want to sit with for a second.

No advice, just recognition. That sounds exhausting and I am sorry you are in it.

I did exactly the same and felt terrible about it. You have not done anything wrong.
