Hi and welcome, Sophia.
In terms of reducing the gastric side effects, I second Jim in advising food and plenty of fluids, my preference being milk. I also supplement with cysteine as I believe that it reduces the gastric side effects. I have no evidence for this other than it being my own experience, but I have a suspicion that it works by enabling the body to produce more glutathione. By the way, on smaller doses you can expect the side effects to ameliorate over a few months, so you might also be able to tough it out. Be wary of antacids. I tried them but got a rebound reflux with them.
Good luck,
Bill
