It's what Jim says. Don't take the pills on an empty stomach, you should take care to have some, or even better a good meal in your stomach before taking the pills.
It is so that the working substance of Fumaderm, dimetylfumarate, and the inside of your intestines do not cope well together. DMF is irritating for the coverage of your intestines.
So I guess your intestines will react in a way to get everything that bothers, out of them, hence your visits to the loo.
If you take it with a meal, the release of the DMF in your intestines will be more spread by the food and it will take a longer spread out time to get into your blood by the osmoses in your intestines.
This is the reason also that here in the Netherlands, the enteric coated slow release version has been developed, which gives less trouble.
Anyway it is known that you should
- Have breakfast like an emperor,
- Lunch like a king
- and dinner like a tramp.....
Oh, and by the way, Bill is taking his DMF in one pulse, not spread over the day, maybe that might be an option for you to discuss with your derm?
