In the beginning with MG I lost weight because I was too weak to eat very much, but have gained it back now.

I take only Mestinon.

My problem is that I am hungry all the time and I think it is the Mestinon, the food goes through me so quickly I wonder if I am digesting it properly...I can hardly make myself chew the food sometimes, partly because I chew so slow now with the MG, my hunger doesn't have the patience to wait for chewing.

I haven't gained extra weight however even though I eat much more than I did before MG.

Peppermint tea really does help stomache troubles, as AnnieB said. Ginger/peppermint tea helps even more than Peppermint alone, from my experience. I've been drinking it recently because it helps my digestive system a little, seems to help slow down my digestive system so the Mestinon doesn't bother me quite as much.

I wish you well, Mike.
