I was on the teach trial for one year. Just finished. It was Tykerb alone. The diarhea was pretty consistant for the first three months. After that it tapered off and it seemed like I would have "issues" about once a month. It was probably due to something I ate as well. My onc. was going to prescribe something to reduce the diarhea, but I didn't end up taking anything. It just seemed to settle down. Hope it does for you too. Just try to drink a lot of water and eat a bland diet when you are having the diarhea.
Take care,
Joannie
