Is bloating a side effect of ATRIPLA? Sep 4, 2009 I was diagnosed HIV+ 6 months ago. CD4 count is 44, viral load is 185,000. I've been on ATRIPLA for 6 weeks. I feel much, much better now. What a difference!!! But I have recently had problems with my stomach bloating. It comes and goes. Very uncomfortable. Is this a side effect of ATRIPLA? |

 Many conditions can cause abdominal bloating even in the general populations. Some of the components of Atripla (such as the tenofovir) can contribute to bloating. Lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, H pylori infection and many other conditions can contribute to bloating/gas so an evaluation is often warranted. KH | |||||||||
