I was on the big 3 @age of 59. Multiple pills 3 times a week. I had bad stomach cramping, diarrhea & nausea. & no energy. I lost 30 pounds. I had to experiment with different foods. I did eat a lot of Greek yogurt, drank ginger tea, ginger soda, sucked on ginger candy. Having a healthy breakfast helped. By evening things weren’t so bad. I took early retirement, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to complete the 18 months of meds. Wishing you the best!

Whoa. I hope you're in the clear now. Thank you for your reply. God bless you!

I also have been very fortunate in terms of side effects. Apart from some nausea and diarrhoea in the first few weeks I have had no problems. I take the three medications first thing in the morning an hour before breakfast. I am 67 years old.
