I wasn't able to tolerate the higher dose, so I dropped down to 100 mg and have just occasional diarrhea if I don't eat enough when I take it. Also, drink a full glass of water, and try to stick as closely to a 12 hour schedule. Diet wise, I had to give up coffee and most spicy foods. I also take a good prebiotic.
