Taking this med requires a low fat diet and I thought that would be difficult but was not. I kept track of my grams of fat in all foods I ate and I was not even near my limit each day. Taking an Omega supplement was not difficult as I was afraid I would be "burping" fish all day, but was not. The med really made my trig and chol drop greatly, only taking it 2 1/2 weeks and there was not any liver enzyme elevation. But the med gave me a "stomach ache" each night when I took it at bedtime because that was when my stomach was empty (per med instructions) The "stomach ache" was worse each night and all I did was hope I would fall asleep before long but one night I was awake and in serious pain until 5:30 am!!! That was when I realized I cannot take this anymore. I may try it again someday. The company that supplied the med was so thoughtful and courteous to me with free Omegas and booklets to help with food decisions.Read More Read Less
