The people that are having gas pains and problems are obviously sticking to the same fatty diet and thinking they can just take the pill. It doesn't work that way. I am on Nutrisystem and also take 1 Alli a day. I have no cramping, no icky gas, and no other side effects because I am maintaining my portions and low fat. It is really helping to move my weight loss along as opposed to just Nutrisystem by itself. This pill works "in addition" to a low fat, small portion diet. Not "instead of."
