This medication is good for the problem of Iileitis but it made me bloated in the stomach and I put on 30 pounds. I stopped it. I was also very very tired during the day.

Don't try to drink alcohol with this until your body has adjusted. Be aware that you may get opportunistic fungal/yeast infections in the corners of your lips due to persistent dryness. This is easliy treated with a cream like lotrimin. Read More Read Less
