  • It appears naltrexone is an opiate addiction medicine which would make sense why she would have wanted pain medicine dilaudid.

    She would get into a cycle of pain -> inflammation -> pain -> inflammation that would not stop until she got dilaudid which would stop the pain.

    Naltrexone, while normally for addiction, in the low dose taken isn’t really helpful for addiction.

    The number one side effect is nause, headache. Perhaps I misunderstood. Clarify if you could please.

    She said she doesn’t experience these side effects. It’s worth noting that any side effects experienced in trials must be listed.


  • So, YMMV, but my wife has similar issues with a large number of issues. She’s not celiac (and doesn’t respond badly to bread), but has very similar issues that you have (she responds similarly with vinegars, some oils, and cheeses).

    She swears by low dose naltrexone. Took it for a week until it started working and it’s been a game changer. Prior to LDN, we had an ER visit every month so she could get dilatud (sp?) if her other medicines didn’t work (hyociamine was the “last ditch” medicine). We haven’t had an ER visit since—almost 2 years.

    Sorry you experience this and I hope you get this resolved. If you do go the LDR route, I truly hope it works for you.
