Re: LDN & effect on bowel/stools

[Guest guest]

I don't think this is because of the LDN. I have IBS and get diarrhea

regularly, and the LDN doesn't seem to affect this. I think your

problem might be related to a side effect of either your disease or

the LDN--it lessens the appetite, so you eat less and probably drink

less fluids ie, the constipation. I would recommend you up your fluid

intake quite a bit and see if that doesn't take care of the problem. -

I had some of the stool problem, but then started eating LOTS of fibre - I keep a bag of trail mix by my bed. Seemed to do the trick.
