Has anybody tried the over-the-counter diet aid Alli? It seems to be the only FDA-approved over the counter diet pill, and while I've read a lot of the horror story reviews of people who end up with greasy underwear, I have to say, the occasional pill that reduces fat intake, if taken only when you know you're eating a larger/fattier meal, seems like a pretty useful tool.
I decided to give it a try, and took one tablet right before a restaurant meal, where I knew I would be eating more than the usual quantity of fatty food. I had some stomach rumbling and felt pretty gassy, but the main thing that I noticed was that I pooped a lot. I mean, ALOT.
I'm sorry if it's TMI, but it wasn't necessarily bad poop, or greasy poop even. I pooped several times, once before bed that night, once in the middle of the night, and twice in the morning. One instance was greasy, in t morning, and I was intrigued to see actual oil floating in the water. But for the rest of it it just seemed like a large quantity of soft poop. More poop than I would normally experience in that same time period after a restaurant meal. It made me wonder, is this somehow evidence that less of the food I ate got digested (because more got pooped out)?
It wasn't a bad experience at all, and I'll definitely try it again at some point, though I wouldn't want to take the pills with every meal, every day. Has anyone else tried this? Could it be a useful tool for the occasional planned, fatty meal?
