Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Can B6 cause diarrhea. Maybe it is a filler in the tablet? We haven't had that problem here and I give tons of it to all four of my boys. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Question: Can B6 cause diarrhea. I started my daughter on 50 mg. on Saturday. So far (knock on wood) we've seen positive results -- no seizures since starting it (and they had been daily), improved behavior and better demeanor. Only problem is that she's had some pretty severe " runs " all day. Just wondering if the B6 could be the problem and, if so, if there's anything we can do about it. Other possibilities would be: * She gets a Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc supplement because she's on the keto diet. I haven't changed the amount -- but I did split the dosage am/pm to give her more magnesium closer to the time she's getting the B6, which right now is in the morning. * I had quite a bacterial infection a couple weeks ago -- not stomach, more flu-like. . . but it could just plain be that she's coming down with something (and perhaps that's why we saw the increased seizures). * She's been swimming quite a bit the past few days. Typically, both she and her sisters will have very loose stools after swimming -- of course, this latest bout came nearly 24 hours later. . . so I think this theory is a stretch. Sorry to be discussing my daughter's BMs internationally here. . .but I just really need to know if this could be a B6 side-effect. . .which will really be a bummer!--DeEtte, Mom to (6, keto-kid since 1/01, med-free, seizures significantly reduced. . . a lot the past week, but calmed down for now) and (4), sdale, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 DeEtte, Gillian is on 400mg B6 a day split into two doses and if anything she's more constipated since the addition of the B6. It could be the lamictal wean that caused her constipation to worsen too. Anyways B6 is working wonders over here. Gillians just cruising through her lamictal wean twice as fast as before and no signs of withdrawal, no siezures, no crying all day, nothing except constipation which we now have under controll too.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 More magnesium might be it...Jake couldn't handle CMZ every day, that gave him the runs. He takes calci-mix 1/2 the week, CMZ the other. I alternate every other day. He has a normal BM daily. I'm lucky I know. Barb Swoyer b6 -- diarrhea? > Question: Can B6 cause diarrhea.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Forgive my jumping in here, but B6 needs magnesium to process, and so with addition of B6 you may need more magnesium than before to prevent constipation.
