By me if the night before changing the wafer I had a veggi free dinner I have no problem doing it in the shower the next morning

My doctor told me that some people after a while can eat normally
Of course your bowl function will never be the same as it was till now but that doesn't say that you can never eat all the kinds of food

The doctor told me this side affects are very common like everyone has them

I am going to start this treatment next week for four months
My Question I after each round how long do you have the side affects?
