============

If the adverse symptoms continue more than 5 to 6 days get filler

changed to non-dairy/non-refrigerate acidophilus.

Drink lots of water with the ldn, and go up slowly, give

your body time to adjust. The water helped my headache when I first started

the ldn….Conni

Hi Liz,

Could your digestion issues be related to some food you ate instead ?

ie; Had you been out to dinner...or changed your diet in any way ...??

Also, is your doctor prescribing and monitoring your LDN therapy ??

You indicated he suggested to lower your thyroid medication. I'm

wondering if you checked with your doctor about his abdominal pain you

were (are?) having ?? I would hate for you to have appendicitis and

instead be thinking that this pain is related to the LDN somehow.

You should consider the filler. After almost 3 weeks those sideeffects should have gone.

Why not try transdermal cream?

[low dose naltrexone] LDN & Headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal painWell I started LDN for Sarcoidosis and Hashimotos in 9-19-08 at 1.5 mg per night. I went up to 3.0 on 9-24-08. On 10-1-08 I got horrible diarrhea something fierce and abdominal pain (upper and lower). I also felt slightly nauseous. On 10-4-08 I noticed a slight headache. I thought it was sinus related and that it would pass. I took a Seudafed PE yesterday and it did not even touch it. The diarrhea seems to have improved with a less lose and more firm bowel, but the headache and nausea remains. I get my LDN from The Compounder in Aurora, Illinois. I was told they use Avicel filler. I did notice others have

issue on the avicel. I also read elsewhere on this site that some people have these issues due to the increased endorphins and it will take the body sometime for it to get used to it. Otherwise, the LDN is GREAT! I can breathe like I did before the sarc, thos enice, deep breathes that I could not take over 2 weeks ago. SO...is it the filler? Is this a side effect that will pass? Should I lower from 3.0mg/night to 1.5mg/night? I also was taking 50mcg of Synthroid, I lowered it to 25 mcg this morning per MD. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------
