Hi,
My doctor has prescribed Xenical, a fat blocker, to help me lose some
extra weight I've gained.  I exercise 3-4 times
a wk. and eat healthily.....hardly ever any GF flours or baked goods.
However, I have gained more weight than I'm
comfortable with since being GF. I'm 53, 5'4", and have gone from
weighing 125 to 140.  Has anybody had any experience with this med or
any other fat blocker? The pharmacist told me it is GF so I'm not
worried about that.  I'm only supposed to take one a day or every other
day, with an extra fatty meal, not the 3 per day as often prescribed.  I
have been totally GF for 2 years now.  My doctor assures me it is ok,
considering celiac disease is a malabsorbtion problem, but I wanted to
check here also for some feedback.  You have all helped me so much along
the way and I really appreciate it.  Sorry if this subject has come up
before and I missed it.....I couldn't access the archives today.  Also,
please, no reprimanding emails.
Thanks,
Deborah
