Hi I’ve been on Abemaciclib 150 mg for 5 months now. For the first 4 weeks I had many issues with stomach cramping and sudden diarrhoea. I was eating as I’d always eaten but did a food diary and found take aways, spiced food. Fat fried or fish and chips , pastries, pie’s quiche, sausage rolls, processed microwave meals were triggering an onset of irritable bowel and sudden need to empty bowel. Like literally sweating and cramping till bowel was empty. I’ve found that eating whole foods salads with chicken or salmon , jacket potatoes, meats and vegetables, Sunday dinners, casseroles, fruits and yogurt, cereals. Basically home cooking without all of the supermarket processed food has calmed my bowel situation down massively . Reduced the amount of what I call bowel incidents. I still get them occasionally but my nurse is happy with what I’m doing and reporting back to her and so are keeping me on 150mg they think I’m becoming tolerant of it now.
