About to start Fumaderm

[Caroline]

Soooooo.. took my first dose yesterday with plenty of food and a yoghurt. Nothing to report regarding side effects. Think I felt my belly churning a little 20 mins or so after but I don't know if that was just my imagination from expecting something or even just my stomach digesting which I wouldn't normally notice. That leads to my question though: I know the flushing seems to come on many hours after the pill is taken but how long after the dose is taken do the stomach problems usually occur?

I don't know either. I never had stomach problems as I have never used Fumaderm, but I would guess they would be quickly as the stomach is the first the pills pass.
After that they come in the intestines and release their contents. As you had a good meal it may be, at least that is what we are trying to achieve, that the DMF is so diluted that you will have little problems in your intestines. Let's wait and see.

Remember, there are a lot of people who say they have problems in their stomach but in fact they have problems in their intestines (belly).
Those two are very different things.
