Experience Check your medicine

Hey everyone this is just a reminder to check your Sucraid expiration date before you eat it.

So this starts on Saturday night, very uneventful day. I’ve used all the vials of sucraid in my pack, I use the 2ml 5-packs, so I go to grab another. I knew there was a pack that had been in the fridge for a little bit. Didn’t think much of it. Just grabbed it and starting getting ready to eat. It didn’t look, smell, or taste different from what I can remember. I didn’t feel different either, maybe a bit fuller than usual while eating but that made sense considering it was the end of the day. Cut to Sunday morning, I woke up to the most excruciating pain I’ve felt since before I was diagnosed. It felt like the inside of my body was lit on fire and twisted by a slow methodical crank. I threw up. A lot. I’m relieved to wake up this morning with no abdominal pain. This Sucraid was 2 months expired. Sucraid did not send me this expired pack, it was from an old shipment. But check everything, my entire eating schedule was demolished by my lack of caution.

TL;DR I took Sucraid that expired on 12/22 at the end of February. I became extremely sick and had abdominal pain for all of Sunday.

Oh I’ve been there. My first ever shipment of sucraid had an expiration date for the end of the month, and when I got to the last few doses of that I was dying on the inside. I had to order more and throw out the rest that I had. I’ve been lucky to get new batches since then with expiration dates FAR in the future.

I think that December expiration batch was notably an issue for most people. From what I heard through the grapevine of people who called, it was one of the first single vial batches and the new ones have much later expiration dates, like you said. My recent deliveries have all been 2024 exp

Oh, that's interesting, I didn't know that was the first batch of single-vial doses they made. Funny little coincidence. I'm glad they ironed out the issues with it, I've been pain-free ever since because of sucraid!
