Any Tips for managing diarrhea from Pyridostigmine

[jester]

I noticed that everyone is concentrating on mestinon. I seem to recall that chronic diarrhea can be a primary symptom of MG. Mine goes way back to before medications

I agree with Jonathan A. I did a fecal test while using a diarrhea stool and am now heading for a colonoscopy. I have never had one but I suppose it it is a good thing to get done. I am just scared now.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Cut your dosage back until it stop then increase the dose slowly. The 60 mg pills break in half very easily.

I try to stick with 60mg three time a day and would love to cut that in halve eventually. I use imodium only when I need to and I am slowly learning what foods to avoid. I can’t tolerate spicy food or pork. I have to limit potatoes and I try to avoid fried foods. Pizza really makes it worse too. It is different for some people though so try to keep a food diary to help you recognize your triggers
