Capecitabine side effects are really tough: What helps?

@gc4217 week 3 for me was when I was told to expect to be more tired and I experienced more gas & some stomach issues. I just finished week 4 and find I have some pain I take Tylenol xtra strength it helps. I’m drinking watered down pedialyte to stay hydrated. I’ve discovered not to bend over within 2 hrs of taking Xeludo as it causes a rush of heartburn. And it’s not advised to take antacids within 2 hrs of Xeludo. It’s getting harder but I only have 11 treatments left to go. I wish you the best thank you for checking on me.

@115 I started to have stomach issues starting in my second week. I take a Imodium every other day and that seems to keep it in check.
Was you pain due to the radiation, they told me that would come in the 4th to 5th week and they could prescribe creams. Monday starts week 3 for me and I keep hoping for the best. I do keep hydrated and so far have had no nausea. Good advice for limiting heartburn I was getting that occasionally. The 11 treatments will go fast, I’m amazed how quick my two weeks went. Good luck the next few weeks, keep me posted.
