I recommend fenugreek often, as do the pediatrics providers in the practice
where I work. We find it works well. In the last few years only a couple of
patients have reported GI symptoms -- both minor (e.g., gas). I recommend
women buy a bottle of capsules and take 3 caps tid until they finish the
bottle. By then we have a follow up by phone or office visit. Most women
only need the one bottle. I've heard of women who keep taking fenugreek
over long periods, but in my practice its rare. Have not thought of having
a build-up or taper. I'm interested to see what other providers have to say
about this topic.
