To all you out there doing triple treatment with VIC

[rockymoe]

Do you all feel really bloated, especially in the abdomen?

Hi rockymoe!  

Unfortunately, only the nurses were in and I mentioned the bloating but since I am the first one on the VIC there at the clinic, they cannot really tell me if it is a side effect. They made a note of it in my files.  I think my bloating  may have to do with a 4 pound weight gain though! :-((  Just what I needed!

Let me know what he says! I wasmso miserable yesterday. My abdomen even looks bloated.

Yeeeeeees...I sure do....been like this two weeks thinking I must have gained weight and it is all in the abdomen...very uncomfortable!  I see my dr tomorrow and will mention this to see if it is a side..thanks for posting that.

I did mention it to the Dr today. My husband and I ate fried seafood Staaurday and obviously I can't handle fried food. it is better today. I have had a rough time with this. Especially nausea. I'm on procrit also feeling so weak!

Vic can be pretty tough on the GI tract. I wouldn't have described my experience with it as bloating but my first three weeks after it was added was pretty rough to the point where I wondered how much I would be able to take from abdominal pain. After that initial time it subsided. I don't know if that helps in your situation though. Hopefully you have called your doctor and reported your experience.
I hope it improves soon,
