Thanks Jesse! I haven't been on meds for almost 2 years now as I've felt fine, but the colonoscopy I had in May showed mild inflammation in the TI so I figured I would try LDN. The weekend before I started it, I was having some abdominal pains but now after 2 weeks of being on it, I feel they are exacerbated. So yes, hypothetically speaking lol because I'm trying to tell myself that had I started LDN 2 months ago, I would have felt the same! (Makes me feel better and not kick myself for not starting it sooner lol when I had no pain).Not to my knowledge... but then again, IBD can be unpredictable regardless of what you do. I know that there are some people who have taken LDN who have said that it gets worse before it gets better, but when you're already in remission, I'm not sure... It might be similar though.
That said, if you started taking LDN, did you stop taking a different medication that you had previously been on? That could also be the cause of symptoms to reappear. I guess I'm not sure if you're asking this question hypothetically, or if it's something that's actually happening to you. Either way, I hope you're doing OK!
I remember reading that once you start LDN, you get worse before you get better and that is normal.
Hopefully the LDN experts will answer shortly
Thanks Jesse! I took myself off of 6MP about 1.5 years ago due to a.) fear of cancer risk and b.) feeling fine! I have a mild case apparently. So for the past year I've been feeling completely fine (i don't have the diarrhea-type), and I hadn't seen a GI until; May this year when they did a colonoscopy. I went on LDN with a new GI since I realized "ok, i guess the colonoscopy shows inflammation in the TI, better take something lol" So I started it a couple days after I developed some new pains, soo that's why I'm wondering...Not to my knowledge... but then again, IBD can be unpredictable regardless of what you do. I know that there are some people who have taken LDN who have said that it gets worse before it gets better, but when you're already in remission, I'm not sure... It might be similar though.
