Re: Stomach Sounds-yikes :tykerb-herceptin combo

Sounds like a classic case of the Tykerb Terrors to me!
I'm so sorry!

I found that if I took my Tykerb at night, on an empty stomach, before bed, I could typically predict a "morning bathroom rush". But then there would be unexpected episodes at random times too - definitely after eating dark, leafy greens, etc.

The rn's always recommend Immodium - but I thought it was the devil! Like pouring liquid cement directly into your colon - then being constipated for days after, which for me is even more miserable.

I kept GasX or Peppermint pills close by at all times to calm the rumblings & always new where the closest restroom was. And, as silly as I felt making the purchase, baby wipes & desitin.
I'm sure lots of other folks will offer ideas too.
Hope you find a solution that works for you~

Keep the Faith~
