I know this comment was almost a year ago but did the diarrhea finally clear up? I only took 2 doses of fosamax but got diarrhea so stopped. Imodium AD helps and watching what I eat but as soon as I eat anything "normal" the diarrhea comes back. Did yours finally stop? How long did it take?

Did the side effects from Fosamax finally clear up, such as the diarrhea? I was prescribed this med but am afraid to start taking it. Thanks.

I have been on alendronate over 2 years when my prescription plan changed and so did the formulation for my drug. That's when my diarrhea started. The drug company used a non active ingredient (mannitol) that I suspected caused my diarrhea. They were able to switch me back to my original manufactured formula and I'm back to normal. I have been happy with Fosamax otherwise.
