I just went off this combo and they reduced my xeloda down to 2000 mgs a day and even at that I still had bouts of diarrhea. If I went anywhere especially in a store I would always take notice-where is the restroom. I would start to get cramps and gas and would head right for the restroom. Some times I would just about make it. This was not all the time but it happened often enough so I paid attention!! Plus the chemical smell was awful!! hugs, Sandy
