I just started taking it and the only treatment effect I had was the first day (because of what I ate the day before). Watch your fat/cal intake, hydrate, eat fruits and veggies, you should be fine. I agree the bad side affects are people not watching what they eat and the 32 probably had liver isses before starting the program.

Hmmm, I’ve taken Alli for 6 months and went from 87kg to 76kg with exercise and pretty healthy eating plan. I’ve had the oily stools but so what?That’s what it does, and I’ve never had these side effects with “no control”, other people have told me that and it’s usually coz they eat junk, or more than 2000 cal/day – do what the manufacturers say and there’s no problems, just oily discharge when you go naturally. I will finish using Alli in 3 weeks, and my liver function tests ( as of August anyway) have all been outstanding, so I’m not bothered.

I have been taking Alli for less than a year. The best way to avoid the side effects is to watch what you eat. I’ve always wondered what it was doing to my body that I didnt know of. I read another site showing the best way to reverse liver damage… eating fruits and vegetables and purifying the liver.

I’ve taken it for 2 years and lost over 100 lbs. I have no issues with my liver and I believe those 32 people already had liver issues.

I took this medication for weight loss and I was one of the ppl who had the “bad” side effects of oil in my stools. This was not convenient and I had no control over the side effect. Now I’m worried about what it may have done to my liver. How can I find out?
