For me it was worse when I started the Urso, the doctor and I agreed to lowering the dose. I take it twice a day and at a reduced dosage and that seems to have helped a lot. Dr says as long as my numbers stay down hes ok with it.

I tried that and it was worse, couldn't leave my house all day. When I take only 2 pills versus 3 I don't have the problem. Thanks for responding. I guess I'll just have to talk to my doctor

Yes, I also have pancreatitous, that's what causes the stomach pain, when I get that I just have to stuff like chicken soup, or eat sm bland meals , as well as just water.

I did and we switched to taking it at night. This helped and it rarely happens to me unless I eat high fat food.
