I have found that taking Requip 20-30 minutes after drinking 8 ounces of water has eliminated the upset stomach. Since I began doing this, I have not needed to take Requip with food. It is my understanding that drinking 8 ounces of water 30 minutes before eating allows the water to pass from the stomach to the intestine where it is rapidly absorbed. It then goes to make a 'lining' to protect the stomach from whatever is going to be eaten, pills included. ----Original Message----- From: Anne Rutherford <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Saturday, October 16, 1999 10:21 AM Subject: ReQuip and upset stomach
