Gurl I don't have any idea what that medication is you're taking. MG is not smart remember that.
if I have diarrhea or gas I eat something that will Bind up my bowels. Don't forget diarrhea or constipation it's all dehydration so be very careful you must continue to hydrate while you are eating. And if you can eat beans I would eat babes anything that will bind up my system and then just relax.
Stay hopeful😎
