Re: Re: Low Dose Naltrexone/Tummy

Do you think LDN helps with leaky gut at all? I tried it for a year, it helped

with mood. I don't remember if it helped with systemic inflammation. I'd be

willing to try it again, if it would calm down my tummy.

If you search the archives, you will find how other get it. you are wasting

your time if you expect to go to a mainstream doc of any kind for a

prescription. Possibly an integrative doc in private practice. or try

http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/.

I buy mine from overseas without a script and I pay about $16 for a 3 month

supply plus $25 shipping. I buy much more from them and several months at a

time. I use a pay-as-you-go debit card from the grocery store so no bank info

is used in the transaction. I have been doing this for 3 or 4 years now.

Hi,

 

Both gluten and dairy can contribute towards inflammation.  LDN is an opioid

antagonist and sometimes the opioid peptides found in gluten and dairy can

interfere with the best response to LDN.  On the other hand, some people with

food allergies report that their allergies disappeared after being on LDN for a

long time.  I would suggest eliminating at least gluten for awhile and see how

you feel.  Dr.Mccandless has a good thread on LDN Proboards - " LDN is Not a

Stand Alone Treatment " :

 

http://ldn.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=links & action=display & thread=1483

 

I had been gluten free prior to starting LDN, but later went dairy free when my

first prescription of LDN was compounded with lactose.  I experienced an upset

stomach, which disappeared when the filler was changed.

 

I had a celiac panel test done and it was negative - however, I am IgA deficient

which can throw off the celiac disease test. But I am definitely gluten

" sensitive " .

 

 

From the University of land Center for Celiac Research:

 

 

What are the symptoms of Celiac Disease? Symptoms of celiac disease include

diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, abdominal pain, chronic fatigue, weakness,

malnutrition, and other gastrointestinal problems. In children, the symptoms may

include failure to thrive (an inability to grow and put on weight),

irritability, an inability to concentrate, diarrhea and bloating. Further,

people affected by celiac disease may experience extra intestinal symptoms that

involve many systems and organs including bones (osteoporosis, arthritis, and

joint pain), blood (anemia and bleeding), reproductive system (infertility and

reoccurring abortion), nervous system (chronic fatigue syndrome, depression,

dementia), and behavioral changes.

 

What are the symptoms of gluten sensitivity?

  Just as in celiac disease, gluten sensitivity can affect all body systems and

generate a wide variety of symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms can include

diarrhea, bloating, cramping, abdominal pain and constipation. Behavioral

symptoms can include “foggy mind,†depression and ADHD-like behavior. Other

symptoms include anemia, joint pain, osteoporosis, and leg numbness.

I'm already gluten free and mostly dairy free and free of a million other foods

as well but thank you. I guess I'm just going to give it a try again. Maybe

it will help with my chemical sensitivies??
