My husband is 81, and had to give up a trial of both meds as he was losing so much weight after just 3 months it was scary, he’s always been tall and slim so he couldn’t afford to keep losing the weight, he was eating well too, but the shots just seemed to exacerbate his diarrhea instead of helping it.
And his vitamin levels dropped precipitously.

I’m so sorry this happened to him. I guess it is proof that each person may react differently. Although, I did lose weight initially it leveled out & I was able to maintain once I got the diet restrictions figured out. Also, I tended to experience constipation rather than diarrhea. I hope he can find something that works for him.

Hi @ediee, I wanted to check in. How is your husband doing now? How are you?
