Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thanks , Not sure if you read but I'm already on the cream.. Sara > > I have had bouts of diarrhea for about 4 months now. At first it was just when I increased my HC. Once I got up to my full dose I was fine for a few weeks but about 6 weeks ago I started getting really bad pains in my lower pelvic area along with nausea and stomach pain. Not quite the same symptoms or area of pain from Gluten so I knew it wasn't from that. > > I read where some of the list members were using the HC Cream and went back and searched messages with cream and read that Cortef has lactose in it. I did a google search and found it also has cornstarch. I know I have dairy problems and for some time I have suspected that corn is a problem for me. > > About 4 days ago I started using HC Cream for two of my 4 daily doses of HC. No more cramps, no more pain, no more stomach problems, no more acidic discharge from my rectum and no more diarrhea, . Sorry if part of that was TMI............. but lets face it we are all adults with problems that might benefit others. I know I appreciate those who share thier symptoms, it helps me to understand and recognize what has been happening to me for the past upteen years. > > So far the cream seems to be working as well as the pill form of HC. And like I said it has cleared up some major problems for me. Hope this helps someone. > > K > Re: Have tummy problem & the runs...Val could it be HC? > > > Hi sara, > > Interesting - let's hear what says, but my experience is that I had diarrhea for 5 months (yes - 5 months) until I got on a good dose of HC and it stopped, never to return.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 , if you can, would you mind posting how much HC cream and how long before your IBS resolved? Thank's somuch. My Mother has out upwith this for several years and is on Synthyroid Pat Re: Have tummy problem & the runs...Val could it be HC? Hi sara, Interesting - let's hear what says, but my experience is that I had diarrhea for 5 months (yes - 5 months) until I got on a good dose of HC and it stopped, never to return. In my case, I think it was caused by Armour without proper adrenal support. >>>Just want to confirm, there's no way HC will cause the runs is there?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hi pat, I had bever had IBS, diarrhea only started when I went to Armour thyroid. It took 20mg HC (Cortef). I too, had taken syncrap - for 42 years. I didn't know about adrenal support until I had been on Armour for two months and it took me awhile longer to get the adrenal part figured out. It's a relief to not have diarrhea. Re: Have tummy problem & the runs...Val could it be HC? , if you can, would you mind posting how much HC cream and how long before your IBS resolved?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thank you so much < , for your reply. My Mother is on syncrap, and I question if she needs thyroid. Doctor even reduced it at one point. Can I ask how and with what form you dose the HC.? Gratefully, Pat Re: Have tummy problem & the runs...Val could it be HC? , if you can, would you mind posting how much HC cream and how long before your IBS resolved? Thank's somuch.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Oh,sorry, , you did say Cortif. I know it would be difficultif not impossible to get adoctor to perscribe, so hopefully I can have her try the cream. Thank's again, Pat Re: Have tummy problem & the runs...Val could it be HC? , if you can, would you mind posting how much HC cream and how long before your IBS resolved? Thank's somuch.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi Pat, can you get the saliva testing for your mother? Then you will know what she needs for sure. You can order it yourself at www.canaryclub.org I take Cortef and if I don't want to eat when it is time to take it, I use HC cream, 1%. 1/4 tsp is approx equal to 10mg HC. I currently dose, 10 - 7.5 - 5 - 2.5 and will reduce again Wednesday to 22.5 total. >>>My Mother is on syncrap, and I question if she needs thyroid. Doctor even reduced it at one point.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 HI ,why didn't I think of that? Saliva testing would answer that. I thought it was interesting you use the cream along with your Cortif. I have some cream. It would make the Isocort go further so I wouldn't have to reorder as often. Thank's so much, Pat Re: Have tummy problem & the runs...Val could it be HC? Hi Pat, can you get the saliva testing for your mother? Then you will know what she needs for sure.
