So I have been on LDN for about 6-7 months, but on capsules. I switched to transdermal about 3 weeks ago, and starting seeing better results. I thought I was on the road to recovery... but then took a few steps back, seeing a bit of blood (after not seeing basically any for about 2 weeks), some mucus, and a bit more urgency.

I always seem to get these "boosts" from new foods, sups, or meds, but they then let me down. Im actually doing decent still, I dont feel utterly wrecked after going #2 (like I used to), but still have generally low energy and am still cold sensitive. So, Im thinking of coupling this with hydrocort enemas... Never taken them, but am wondering a little about them.

For one, my Dr told me he doesnt generally taper them, you can just start and stop. Has anyone experienced nasty sides with them? Or tried it with LDN? Or have any other 2 cents?

I should add that upon starting transdermal, I starting seeing about 75% very soft, but formed, stools. Now IM seeing a bit more D, maybe 50/50 or so, or 60% soft formed, 40% mush.

Any ideas/thoughts welcome.

I got headaches after using hydrocort enemas.
Never happened with mesalamine enemas so that scared me into stopping.
(Drugs, in general, scare the h_ll out of me.)

I've been using transdermal LDN since January. Only issue I have with it is sleep disturbance with unpleasant dreams. So....I use it for a while, then take a break. Start up again with a small dose and see what happens.

Seems that the thing that most influences quality of BMs is diet. When I stay away from lactose, gluten, sugar and meat (especially beef), I'm better off.

Maybe the answer is to "switch" around every so often.
I started on Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract with Raspberry Ketones several days ago and have experienced more energy. Have been going to the gym nearly every day and not eating as much (a good thing).

If I could just give up eating, maybe the UC problem would go away. :-)
