Gastrointestinal Upset from only one Capsule -- Help, please.

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I started taking Japanese Knotweed and Cat's Claw five days ago and even

though I am only take one pill each every day, I am having gastrointestinal pain

(a sort of pressure on my sternum to be precise).

Today I had diarrhea for the first time from the herbs. Buhner's book says that

if you have diarrhea from Cat's Claw for more than three days you should

discontinue the herb.

My plan was that if I have diarrhea for more than three days, I'll stop the

Cat's Claw, keep with the Knotweed and if the diarrhea persists, I guess I'll

have to discontinue both... I've considered taking digestive enzymes to see if

that helps, but I don't know if they're contraindicated.

What do you guys think?
