Re: I took my first dose (1.5 mg) last night. I've been awake all night

I think I'll know if it's helping. If I can stop constantly running

to the bathroom and if my liver enzymes go down, then it's helping.

,

I have been treating Crohn's / Colitis with 4.5 mg LDN since March

2008 (I have had Crohn's for 30 years). I was in a LOT of pain and

was having diarrhea 10 – 20 times a day before LDN which was reduced

to 2 – 3 times per day (plus pain relief) the first day on LDN! I

still have diarrhea about 2 – 3 times (on most days) due to poor

choices (diet / alcohol) but I do not have any pain. In the first 2

months I had a few " crohns-ish " days (not as bad as before LDN) but

each day got better and better. I feel that it has taken me about 3

months to feel the " full " benefit of LDN. (Last Friday, I actually

went 10 hours before my " one " bowel movement all day!!!!)

I began with 4.5 mg and have stayed on it since, with minimal side

effects. I have had some sleep interruption and wake around 11:00

p.m. and again at 2:00 p.m.(most nights) but I am able to quickly

fall back to sleep. (I have always had sleep interruption, even

before LDN).

I feel fairly certain that the LDN will help with your diarrhea

(especially if you are more " disciplined than I am – diet, etc.). I

encourage you to stick with it because LDN has really made an

incredible difference in my life!

Please keep us posted!
