That's a shame yummy mama, for the first 6 days when I started Exante I was making mad dashes to the loo (literally) I know that it was the diet that was doing this & all the water I was drinking, I still had the occasional mad dash but this urgency seemed to lessen every day & now I'm the opposite !!, I hope everything works out ok & I'm sure you'll find the diet that suits you as you have the determination to lose the weight, good luck with whatever you decide to do xx
