hi Nicky,
The first steps with treatment are hard for most of us. It should get better sometime soon. Have you been taking 12pills a day for the last 4 weeks without any amelioration? If you havent seen any, I think you should try talking to your GI. Maybe that treatment is not the best suited for you at this point. Don't give up, if that's not the one, there are many others out there that might be more promising for you and bring you relief!
Good luck
