TMI question Re Xenical withdrawal on exante

[MissNJ]

Just wondering if anyone has suffered this similar "problem"

I was taking xenical before I started the exante diet, my last pill was about 4 days ago and I started exante 2 days ago..

I had a massive "orange oil" explosion this morning

Ive not had this before, as I was eating really low fat/low fat diet until the start of taking exante, but this is just crazy...

Is there lots of hidden fat in exante? For this to happen? As I've eaten whole bags of kettle chips before and not had anything like this happen.. Ever!!

Has this happened to anyone else when finishing taking xenical and starting exante????

Exante has the over or around 5g of fat. When I used xenical o found anything over that made that happen. Also I think you have.over.the.15g in a day. Hopefully it calms down soon

Thanks for the reply. Just looked on my packs! Silly I didn't think to do that earlier!! It's really strange as I ate loads of crisps and sometimes Indian samosas and took xenical (cheating I know!) but they never ever gave me that effect! I was so shocked! :O
im hoping the xenical gets out my system soon.. As I don't think I could cope with a second episode!!

Takes about 3.days for it to leave the system I think. It is sometimes the most obvious thing that we miss.

Thank you!! Hopefully tomorrow will be a nice new day then! ;-)
Yeah, I haven't even read the ingredients in the packs, as I'm so food phobic that I know things I can't even touch/smell are in the shakes, so trying to stay completely oblivious and in denial for as long as possible!
kinda using this as therapy too.. As I can't keep eating such a restricted diet!

may I ask how long were you on xenical for and how much weight did you loose with its aid?

Hiya, when I started xenical I was 15.7stone.. And within 9 months I was 12.3 stone. But that was being very strict and not eating anything over 5g of fat per 100g and I am a vegan too, so didn't eat any meat, dairy etc.. Which I think helped a LOT!!

I was on it for 5-6 months and lost 37lbs I think.
