[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 38156, member: 1338"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Fiona, Yes, constipation can be a by-product of Byetta, particularly in the early days. It seems to reduce as your body becomes more accustomed to the food travelling slower through your digestive system, but this can take a month or two. You might be able to get away with a stool softener, like DulcoEase, otherwise a mild laxative like Senakot. Your chemist should be able to recommend something suitable. Alternatively you could try scoffing a few of the "diabetic chocolates" made by Boots or Thorntons. A few shouldn't hit your BS too hard because they don't contain sugar. Instead they use maltitol or sorbitol as a sweetener and both of these are pretty potent laxatives. You might be able to cure the problem and indulge yourself at the same time! [/QUOTE]
