Hi Everyone,
I just started on Sat. and am doing well. But I have a few questions.

1. My stomach is gurgling like crazy and making me queasy...normal? any remedy?
2. Headache...normal? advil and tylenol help but I don't want to take them the entire time I'm on the diet.
3. Dry mouth - I have been drinking 96oz of water a day (4 bottles) but I can't seem to kick the dry mouth...suggestions?

Any help with starting and similar experiences would help. I'm very nervous because i've heard bad things about products like Optifast, which is different I know but it's a subconcious concern.
Thank you in advance

Welcome What you're experiencing is VERY normal and the symptoms should remedy in a day or two.

1. Try some bullion broth or an approved snack. The gurgling usually disipates within 3-4 days...it took a solid week for me tho.
2. The headaches should subside soon. You're body is detoxifying now and the toxins that are leaving can cause headaches. You won't have to use meds for too much longer Try to drink 1/2 your body weight in oz of water if possible....flushes out your system faster AND helps weight loss along too.
3. You can have sf gum or mints (up to 5 per day) to help with dry mouth.

Keep shakin

I've only had 2 headaches since starting MF. 2 in 2 months. They were on days 2 & 4. What you're experiencing is very normal. My dry mouth was day 12 and only day 12. WEIRD! I couldn't get enough water that day. Welcome!

Welcome pnr! I actually didn't get a headache until week two, the same week I got the LEG CRAMPS . Luckily the cramps only lasted for 1 day and I had the headache for 2 days. All is well now at 3.5 weeks, feelin great. I still get the gurgling stomach every once in a while but it's not nauseating (sp?). Never had a lactose problem before (if that's what it is) but hey, if the weight drops off, gurgle away!!! But everything you are going thru is normal and shouldn't last for long ~ hang in there!
