So I got my 1st 3 Opti shakes in.  First 2 went ok other then the taste.  The last one around 8 last night whole different story.  I got a severe migraine then felt nauseous all night long.  Each time I woke up my body would shake thinking of the Opti.  At 6 this morning I got up went to the bathroom.  Went and laid back down then bam!  Started throwing up but it was mostly dry heaves.   Then during this it decided it would start on the other end.  I feel AWFUL!  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is this normal.  Will I go thru this for 3 weeks?

Call your doctor right away because you could be having an allergic reaction to it and if so they will put you on a different diet.

Sounds like an allergic reaction for sure- no worries they will just put you on a different diet.

Did you put anything else in thew opti? I could not ad anything with sweeteners into it since it already had a lot. I ended up only using coffee crystals. Would be good to check with your centre. Some people have been just put ion a special diet if they have a reaction

The first few days can be hell. Headaches and diarrhea are common, and migraines and nausea/vomiting go hand in hand for me, but fortunately they don't continue for the duration. You should probably check with your doctor just to be sure though. Once you get past those first few days, the rest is relatively easy.
