Thanks for your reply. Have your doctors ever run any tests to determine if pancreas or liver function is good? Do they think it is not a symptom to be concerned about?

Splenderous....I am on shot 6. My experience with the first injection was clay color and diarrhea for about 4 days. As I got more injections, the duration of the color and texture issues decreased. With shot 5...I had virtually none. My doctors said that as long as I am not Flushing and the diarrhea is halting (ie: non-functioning) that I am fine. They asked me if my stool was oily 9to see if I was just passing, and not digesting fatty foods). I told them it was not and the docs replied that is good. Hope that helps a bit.
