Hi All,
My daughter has been on LDN since January and has been doing really great. Occasionally she has still complained of some nausea after eating. This week she has now been getting nausea every time she eats. I am wondering what it could be from? Is it a small flare or something else?
 
I've never had an issue with nausea from taking LDN. If taken at bedtime, and the stated opinions of some say that it does it's thing in an approx. 4 hour window, I doubt that the LDN would be interfering with digestion, causing nausea once it has done its thing, and since it is a neurolgic, I also 'think' (just the opinion/gut instinct of someone with absolutely no medical or scientific training) that it wouldn't/shouldn't/couldn't cause nausea. Is it possibly a small flare? If the LDN is properly compounded, fresh, all that good stuff... it should be doing its thing. Mine has seen me thru some extremely traumatic events... relationship breakup, lingering death of a parent, troubles my kids have experienced, very bad bouts of flu and colds... you name it, and it kept on ticking.
Unfortunately, kids... whether battling an incurable disease or not, tend to catch things left, right and centre. I was at a b/day party for a bunch of pre-schoolers last week. Guess what? 3 of them came down with croup. At least it wasn't Whooping Cough. But, I digress. Keep a daily food diary, if it persists, then its time for another fun filled trip to the doctor. Wish I had a ready made answer/solution for you, but I left it inside my Magicians coat, which mysteriously dissappeared.
 
hi level
I am not thinking the ldn is causing the nausea. I am just wondering if this is a sign of a flare and if yes does it mean the ldn is not working as well?
 
Alan,
Thanks, She leaves for camp on Wednesday so I will wait until she gets back I don't want to make any changes while she is away.
 
Hey Kim,
Did Caitlin ever have a c diff infection? I'm asking because Chloe started to have occassional nausea that progressed to vomiting and D. I thought it was a flare but when we took her in for it she tested positive for c diff. She originallly contracted it in the hospital in October and so it's not the crohns thats flaring but rather the stupid c diff acting up. It was really different this time because she wasn't immediately sick, it kind of progressed slowly over a couple weeks.
