Bowel obstruction while on LDN :( looking for advice...

[Guest guest]

I have Crohns disease.

I started LDN on the night of the 17th, I was on 10mg of Prednisone

at the time.

When I woke up in the morning all of my pain was gone! The following

day was the first time in over 95 days that I had less than 5 bm's in

a day. Since the day I started LDN 7 days ago I have had only 1 bm

per day and as the days went on my stool became more and more regular.

I woke up yesterday and had very mild discomfort in my abdomen.(I had

weaned to 5 mg of pred over these 7 days) I didnt think much of

it.... Then BAM The sledge hammer started to swing. Ive had a

complete bowel obstruction for 2 days now and have eaten nothing

except for 2 Adkins shakes.

I stopped the LDN (because I know pred will open me up eventually)

I jumped up to 40mg PREDNISONE today to open the obstruction.

Im very confused at this point and Im just looking for clues to what

I may be doing wrong. After thinking about it all day this is what I

have come up with

1. I weaned pred too fast? 5 mg over 7 days. The initial dasage was

40mg and I weaned to 5 mg in 5 weeks I droped by 5 mg every 3-4 days.

Is 5 weeks too long to be on prednisone to wean that fast? I didnt

think that was considered long term.

2. I still feel no pain except for the waves of obstruction pain. I

dont feel like theres anything infectious going on. I have no fever,

no RLQ pain. Since the LDN was working so well did I advance my diet

too quickly and its simply a mechanical obstruction? I have been

eating Tons of fruits and veggies since I started feeling better.

Confused in Fl......
