Reply to "Third week of unexplained illness. Any ideas?"

Brellis,

I am merely suggesting you experiment with it.  All treatment of IBD is trial and error.

For me 2 capfuls would do the trick.  Read the instructions, you cannot take more than a certain amount per day as bismuth can be toxic to your liver as well. Try it for a day or two and see what happens.  The nausea, bloating, and gas should be addressed by the bismuth.  If you get constipated, stop it.  That should not happen.  As I said, the mechanism of action is to kill bacteria, not to thicken or slow you down like imodium.

The PB formulation allows a maximum of 240 ml per day (8 capfuls).  Therefore you can take 4 2 capful dosages or 8 1 capful dosages.  It is the best to take every half hour or hour up to the maximum daily amount and then you will have the bacteria causing the symptoms crushed.  I would not use it for a prolonged period.

Lastly, relief should be immediate.  Within 4 hours as that is the transit time to your Pouch.
