Re: Help with painful side effects from TCHP!

I'm so sorry your having a rough time. For me, I used Imodium A-D for the diarrhea and cramping. I took double the amount recommended on the packaging per my doctors instructions. That really did the trick for me. I also ate pretty bland food while I was struggling with this and found it also helped. I would eat toast, crackers, cottage cheese, yogurt, soup, eggs, things like that.

Hope this works for you. Know that it does get better.

Take Care,
Brenda
