Hi jojo4cm,

I only had gut pain. Nothing else.

As I have a very sensitive gut, I didn't take any OTC products (and still do not). I just ate bland food afterwards.

If your wife drinks one and one-half to two glasses of water with the pill, she should avoid gut pain.

Note: My specialist never said that I needed a giant breakfast (I came up with that myself), and just recently told me to take the Atelvia with lots of water.

Experiment. I did and found what worked for me.
