^title, I’ve been on Gilenya 0.5 mg since February 2024. In April 2025, I experienced nausea and an inability to eat much that eventually went away. I thought this was due to stress. However, it came back this year around April as well (arguably worse this time) and I’ve gotten many tests done: Pelvic ultrasounds, H. pylori, celiac disease, gastroparesis, stool/urine tests, all were fine. I tried taking pantoprazole magnesium 40 mg for 1 month to see if acid was the issue, but it didn’t help. I’m now waiting until I can get an appointment for an endoscopy. My doctor said if the results come back normal, my issues could be related to my anxiety, or this might be IBS.
However, a relative brought up the idea that my gut biome could be imbalanced because I am taking medication, and suggested I consume kefir daily to restore healthy gut bacteria. Does anyone have any anecdotes on this helping with GI issues? Also, have others struggled with terrible nausea/burping/bloating/early satiety while on Gilenya? Thanks :’(
