Re: getting LDN compounded

[Guest guest]

,If your husband is sensitive to fillers (I am and Avicel, commonly used, is an intestinal irritant to me). Skip's uses veggie caps and sucrose if you ask. Dr. Zagon recommendsdextrose to help speed up metabolism of LDN. Sucrose is the available substitute offered by Skip's. And Skip's prices are excellent too.Some people like acidophilus filler. I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses.Jackie From: Harkins <mdub200572@...>Subject: [low dose naltrexone] getting LDN compoundedTo:

My husband and I are in the process of getting a prescription for LDN. We have read that we need to be really careful about the filler. If we get LDN from one of the pharmacies listed on the homepage (Skip's, Gideon's, etc), will they know what fillers to use or do we need to suggest one? He has Crohn's; what fillers are typically used in LDN for people with Crohn'sThank so much,Liz

Hi Liz. I have Crohn's disease and am on a similar diet to you. I get my LDN

compounded here in New Zealand where I live. I checked the filler with the

chemist. It is Microcrystalline Cellulose (also known as avicel) and dry Maize

Starch. I've been on LDN for 10 weeks and have had no problems with this. In

fact the LDN has been brilliant with a marked improvement in all my Crohn's

symptoms.

All the best....Joan
