I've been taking welchol for a little over a month... I notice that my stomach got bigger (is this what you call bloating) in a month's times... my whole body i still small. Also I always have gas...usually this happens when I drink regular milk (lactose intolerance), but I've switch to soy milk and gas is still there.. I used soy milk prior to taking welchol.
Also, I cannot bend my middle finger on my right hand and it is very tender.. This only happened recently..
