How Long Does It Take For Food To Digest

Having a lot of fatigue and mental fog during the day after my nightly dose of 10mg. Also experiencing dry and red eyes. It's been 3 nights. Does this subside after some time? If so how long? ## Those are listed by the NIH as being normal side effects and yes, they should subside, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take about 4 weeks. Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you so much for your reply. Are the weight changes from eating more or the way your body digests food/drink? I'm concerned about the weight changes. I feel like i may be retaining more water.

When is the best time to take it? Can you take it with meal? ## Hello, Andrea! How are you? You should take it as directed by your doctor. Usually, it should be taken just before a meal, so it has the chance to start working to control your blood sugar, by the time you are digesting your food and will experience the most fluctuations. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## May i know which medicine should be taken before breakfast..Formet or glymepiride ? Thank you ## What has your doctor advised? Usually, they all should be taken, before a meal.

To reduce acidity in the stomach, should Pan 40 be taken before or after food ## Hello, Vicky! How are you? It should be taken just before a meal, so it has time to start working by the time you are digesting your food and producing the most stomach acid, unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Learn more Pan 40 details here.

How are you? How do you know your food is not digesting? Some foods never do fully digest and that is normal. Our body absorbs certain nutrients from them and then expels the rest as waste matter. This medication is an antibiotic that can treat various types of infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Ahmed, what has your doctor advised?

Hey everbody, for those on Bupropion, how did it effect your digestion? Especially those, who are having/had a "good" digestion with like 2 or 3 times defecation a day - did the Bupropion somehow made you constipated so that you couldnt go that often any more? And how long after the first pill did this start? Thanks much! ## This medication could cause constipation as a side effect, according to NIH reports, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes. However, it really is not normal to defecate 2 to 3 times a day. Most people go once a day, or less. Has anyone else experienced this issue with this medication? Most people go once a day, or as little as once a week. ## Ofc it is normal to go 2-3 times a day (just check the transit times of food); howeve...

I have been feeling a lot of bloating, gas/acid reflux. Not really sure if it has something to do with my diet. I used the eat the usual food I take healthy and fast food. Then one day, the stomach attack I experienced was not bearable so I had to go to my gastroenterologist. I was given PPI's to somehow help with the pain and was advised that if I still feel something after taking it for a week, I'll be scheduled for a colonoscopy. I was also told to have a strict diet. So to make the long story short, everything went well after a week so I when I gave my doctor another visit, luckily I didn't go through colonoscopy. Was given the same advise but this time without PPI's. I was also advised to take enzymes. I'm taking digestive enzymes from Natural Goal for about a mont

Lactase

Lactase is an enzyme produced by many organisms. It is located in the brush border of the small intestine of humans and other mammals. Lactase is essential to the complete digestion of whole milk; it breaks down lactose, a sugar which gives milk its sweetness. Lacking lactase, a person consuming dairy products may experience the symptoms of lactose intolerance.[1] Lactase can be purchased as a food supplement, and is added to milk to produce "lactose-free" milk products. Lact...

My gastroparesis causes right sided pain that can get very severe? Doctors don't want to give pain mess because it slows things down. Well I can treat the constipation I don't want to live in pain. What do other gp patients do ## @docchrid, Have the doctors been able to determine what caused the gastroparesis to begin with? I've read that one risk factor is from having diabetes, and wonder if at any point you were diagnosed with that as well? In either case, perhaps the idea of supplementing daily with digestive enzymes/probiotics and eating more fresh raw fruits/vegetables could improve your intestinal motility enough to metabolize food more efficiently (i.e. less work for your stomach muscles). - And in that respect, a strict regimen involving this may also help counter an...

Does Aminosyn 3.5% sulfite free effectively replace food nutrition? ## This is just a crystalline amino acid solution with electrolytes; nothing more. I study in the field of nutrition and don't believe any supplement can compare to whole food nutrition; especially fresh fruits and vegetables. It is important to know that ALL whole foods contain amino acids in various quantities. The problem with supplements is that these certain nutrients are extracted from their whole food form and you are left without all the other enzymes, vitamins and minerals in that food that aid in digestion and also help other bodily functions as opposed to just doing one thing. Think of it as having a really souped up BMW and none of the special features work except being able to drive it. It is also impor...

Hi! I started taking Metformin today. I have PCOS and gained 15 pounds in six months In conjunction I am following a Paleo diet with no grain or gluten whatsoever, no dairy other than butter and the occasional sweet potato or plantain. I'd like to know if fruit is a safe source of carbohydrate with Metformin?i take 500 mg with breakfast and dinner.are there specific times to make it more efficient? ## Hello, Delphine! How are you? The main concern with the fruit is the effect that the sugars in it will have on the insulin in your body. It's not dangerous, per se, but it could aggravate your PCOS, if you eat too much. The best time to take it is at the start of meal, so the medication has a chance to start working, by the time you are digesting your food. The FDA lists the typica...
