Answer to Question 1

Both orlistat and its reduced-strength version, Alli, inhibit an intestinal enzyme that is needed to break down fat. Fat that isn't broken down is not absorbed, and up to 30 percent of the dietary fat is expelled in the stool. As a result of reduced fat absorption, side effects of treatment with these medications can include oily and more frequent stools, flatulence, and oily discharge.

Answer to Question 2

Choose dairy foods that are better tolerated, such as Swiss or cheddar cheese and yogurts that contain active cultures. Try reduced-lactose milk and dairy products. Take lactase pills with dairy foods. Consume smaller amounts of dairy foods throughout the day. Eat dairy foods with a meal or snack rather than by themselves. Add dairy foods to the diet gradually.
