here is the side effects part from above: http://www.drugs.com/sfx/xenical-side-effects.html
I know folks who tried it and lasted maybe two weeks before they stopped taking it......because of the gastrointestinal problems.

Safeway grocery stores sell stevia.....there are a couple of different brand names....so does Trader Joe's and Whole Foods...it should be in most big chain grocery stores where you find sugar. |
Hey Toughy....thanks for posting this. I was interested to see that xenical is the stuff that's marketed as Alli.
The company I work for (a wellness company) has a whole system of health coaches and programs for us....and the weight loss program provides Alli to anyone who wants it free....however, they specifically do not allow diabetics or others with any kind of chronic condition to take it through their program. When I asked why, the nurse hemmed and hawed a bit, then said...."well, it's pretty tough on the body. We don't recommend that anyone who isn't in ideal health take it."
That was enough for me!
