I had lots of issues on it in pill form but when I got it in syringe form it was fine. The Dr. said it bypasses the stomach for less side effects for me since I have ibs

I don’t take it because of the side effects. Would rather put up with the pain ….

Everybody is different. It does have side effects for some people but you don't know if you will be one of them until you try it. Your bloods will be monitored regularly so if it causes any problems they will be detected pretty soon.
