Sorry to take so long to reply. I am C, but no longer am, now that i am back on meds and eating well. The AD can help regulate your bowels as it works on seretonin which is in large concentration sin your gut, also i obsess about my stomach far less so i eliminate the evil cycle fo me making things worse on my own. I take mine with food in the morning and after 2 weeks on it i felt no more side effects stomach or head wise, although it did take me a month to get my sleeping pattern back to normal. I urge you to just press on and endure the yuck, the potential for feeling better is so worth it.
