Malabsorption
Hi i'm on orlistat I take the pills 3 times a day but sometimes I take more (7-10 pills) It makes me feel comfortable I don't know why I think I have an eating disorder ,anyway I always have abdominal pain and the same symptoms of malabsorption so you think the symptoms are regular side effects of orlistat and if I stop talking it I would be ok? I read that the side effects become worse If I eat so much fats but I only eat 300-500 calorie a day ,i'm taking laxatives too but not too much.
