Hi Everyone: It is Monday and I am 7 days post op. I never thought I would make it this far but as everyone says each day gets better. I am having a problem with the Actigall. I can not tolerate it at ALL. It makes me so sick! Any suggestions. I am calling Dr. Wynn today to see if they have any suggestions. Thanks, Kim

Hi Kim, well first let me say congratulations to making it7 days post op. "clap: I am sorry to say that I am no help with the actigall because they took my gallbladder out prior to surgery because I had gallstones. Do you have to take it with food, maybe to coat your stomach? Keep us posted in what the doctor says. Christie

Hi Kim, How are you taking actigall? They suggest mixing it with applesauce, but sf pudding was the best for me, you just have to work with it. But calling the Dr.'s office is good, because you might have something going on. Does just the actigall make you sick? Well, keep us posted on how you are doing. Take care, Dana

Thanks Dana and Christie for your response. I have tried taking it with applesauce, pudding, yogart, etc. As soon as I open the bottle I heave from the smell. I am fine up to the point of taking the Actigall thereafter I am done for the day. If I take it before bed I am up all night. I called the Dr. Wynns office and was told I could discontinue it until Friday when I see her. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again, Kim

Someone had suggested to me that Spicy V 8 can mask the nasty taste, worth a try.

Kim, Keep us all posted. I gag down the Actigall too. I mix it with a little applesauce and just try my best to get it down. I may try SF pudding. Let us know how you made out. Lisa
