    I am 5 days in on this therapy and have had mild nausea that is tolerable. I am having an allergic to one of the medications in the therapy; a rash and itching that is not tolerable but the alternative treatment is not an option for me. Since I have not completed the treatment I don't know if it is successful. Will repost when I get test results

The side effects also included Black stool, nausea, and stomach cramps. I don't know if taking this medication for only ten days has helped me or not.
