LDN capsules

[Guest guest]

I have an interesting and rather amazing story about my use of LDN.

I have 3 AI diseases: MS, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and microscopic colitis. I have had the colitis since Jan 99. It is the one of my diseases where the symptoms are most recognizable: diarrhea several times every day for 11 years. Not one day different.

I didn't find out about LDN until March 08 after my MS dx. Started it. Don't know if it was working for the MS, but diarrhea didn't improve, so wasn't too optimistic that it was working.

I take alot of supplements; always have. For reasons I won't go into, as it would be too graphic, one day about 2 mos. ago it occurred to me that perhaps I had a problem/was allergic to the gelatin capsules that many of my supplements come in. Let a picture paint a thousand words.....

Anyway, I decided to switch all my supplements to either tablets or vegetarian capsules. The diarrhea didn't go away, but suddenly I was actually able to MAKE IT to the toilet each time.

After several weeks like that, I had a brainstorm: my LDN was in gelatin capsules. So I called Irmat and they said they could encapsulate in vegetarian capsules. I'm on my 2nd month of using LDN in vegetarian capsules and my diarrhea is definitely improving!!!!!!

It's like a miracle. I have tried everything in the past 11 years for this colitis. Nothing, I mean nothing, has worked; not medication, not supplements, not diet. I am surmising that the LDN in gelatin capsules wasn't working because my colon was viewing the capsule as poison and shooting it out of my body before it was being absorbed. Now, it's being absorbed!!!

Also, I notice that my mood has improved since the switch.

I wanted to give everyone a positive story and also, if there are folks out there with alot of food/other allergies, they might consider asking their pharmacist to use vegetarian capsules. Evidently it's a very easy thing for them to do.

Happy Days!
