> Sam-e is really helping me. I am quite surprised how well it is working for depression. But now the side effect: It really is bothering my stomach.Any suggestions on what I could take with it? I am using Nature Made brand. Is there a brand that is better, gentler on the stomach? I am taking 600mg daily.

I've had stomach and gas problems when I take SAM-e, but I don't know any way to deal with that. To work best, it is supposed to be taken with water on an empty stomach. That's so it will get into the intestines and be fully absorbed properly, without interaction with stomach acids and food, which diminish it's purity. So, I don't think there's anything we can take for the stomach side effects. Maybe they will go away in time.
