Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Mara- can you tell me the pros and cons of either? I'm not sure which I want to get.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 > Mara- can you tell me the pros and cons of either? I'm not sure > which I want to get. They were recommending that people with IBS start with the cream when I started LDN because some people might not be fully absorbing the medicine. That's why I started it that way - don't know of any cons - sometimes it leaves a small residue on your skin you have to wipe off with a wet cloth - that's really it. I've used the pills occasionally - don't know a con there either - except reaching - some people on SCD might react to the filler - I guess. I know the Marilyn on LDN thinks she was reacting to the red capsule used by Skip's pharmacy and she believes it led to eczema. That doesn't seem to be typical by any means, but you never know. I would slightly recommend the cream for IBS newbies over the pills, except when it comes to serious cases of crohn's - and then cream all the way. Or if you are underweight and have a known absorption problem. Have them fill the prescription for 4.5 (if you weigh 105 or up, otherwise 3.0), but depending on your sensitivity to drugs, you might want to start at 1.5 or 3 for a few nights and see how you react. I should add, I started at 4.5 and was fine. Also, if you are sensitive to drugs, or are worried about starting at the full dose right away - it's easier to do that with a cream than the pill - though you can do it with the pill as well. (for 1.5 level dose, open capsule and mix into a cup of water. Mix thoroughly, drink 1/3 the first night, 1/3 second night, 1/3 3rd night, etc.) BTW, did you see the LDN guy 2 hours away, or did your local doc write the script?

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks Mara, Yes, I had to drive 2 hours (both ways) to get this, but it was worth it. He recommended starting with 1.5. I think I will get the cream, that way I can adjust the dose. I'm calling Coastal Compounding on Monday to get the details. PJ > > > Mara- can you tell me the pros and cons of either?
