Hi Jamie,
Sprycel is notorius for giving you gas. I remembered getting cramped and nauseated. I still do once in a great while. Having a regular bm is important too. I haven't found anything for the very fragrant killer gas. The best advice I can give you is always have a dog with you and avoid elevators. The gas is silent but deadly if you're with a group of people just wrinkle up your nose and look around you (like who did that)! It will get better just like the headaches did. Billie
Also I have found that if I take my pill at a different time than I normally do I get nauseated. I take mine at 4:00 PM

Thank you for the confirmation the gas is the Sprycel, Billie. The gas just started about three weeks ago and seriously, I have never had it like this. It seems to last about six hours after I take the pill. In all my 38 years I've never produced gas so potent. Sorry for too much information, but it wasn't an initial side effect that i had so I didn't know if it was something I was eating or the meds. I hope it gets better with time!
I haven't had the nausea and cramping yet.

Good I am not the only one with gas.. I find drinking enough water helps with going to the bathroom. I also jucie. I do a beet, carrots, and apples in a jucier. This helps with going to the bathroom and seems to help a little with gas.. dont get alarmed when you go number 2. The tolit is a red from the beets..

I'm so envious of those who have diarrhea. I rarely even get urges anymore. Have no idea where it even goes, in the 4 years I've been on Sprycel 100. Seriously, though, I don't really know which would be worse. Definitely gonna try juicing.
Dx: 01 March 2011
Sprycel 100 mg per day since dx
MMR: July 2013
numerous side effects
Thankful for the gift of each new day, and try to live it to the fullest
