Hey, Just to re-assure you. There is nothing wrong with taking diet pills

However, i suggest you consult a pharmacist or GP about taking these pills.

For now I'll explain a bit about the actions of these pills. Simply put when you eat fatty foods, the fat is stored as fat (same goes for carbohydrates).

So, when you take these pills...they prevent your body from taking in fats you eat (prevents fat digestion). Since your GI tract has its own microflora [normal bacteria present in your stomach and intestines] (esp in your large intestine where there is little oxygen - results in the foul smell) stools because its fat that comes out as its not digested.

Some diet pills are: xenical (know for sure that this one does the action i described above) and lipovox (i think)

Alternatively you can try reductil -> this one is different my making you feel full when you eat. (but that means you still have to watch out on what you eat).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just read more clearly about your concern.

A few things:
-Taking these pills can affect the way you eat (depending on what ones you take).
-One solution is to stop taking the diet pill and see if your appetite improves
-Next time when you decide to take a drug, i suggest you find out more about what the drug
does.

Few Possible causes of your eating disorder:
-stress
-depression
-anxiety
-inflamed (damaged) GI tract -> associated with intense pain in the abdominal region [see a doctor].

But, no need to be alarmed. since you said you took the diet pills i'm sure that is the cause of these side effects (unavoidable if you take it).
