I've been taking Follihair capsules for about five days now, right after lunch, and I've started having a pretty bad stomach and diarrhea. Is this normal and safe to keep taking, or could it be a side effect of the capsules?

I'm dealing with stomach issues a lot lately. It's been happening a couple of times just in this past week, and I really don't feel like eating anything. Last night was pretty rough with vomiting, and I've had these intense headaches all day. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining. To help with your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Maalox or Mylanta to help reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can try taking Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to further reduce stomach acid production. It's also important to avoid spicy, acidic, and fatty foods that can irritate the stomach. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
