I hate to post this, but it has been a concern to me. Since starting Mepron in June, I am having at least 3 bowel movements a day. I don't have any cramping and stools look normal, maybe a bit looser at times. Has this happened to any of you?

I hope it is my body's way of getting rid of the toxins.

Sounds like a good thing to me. Much better than the reverse.

That can actually be a normal amount even though it was not normal for you before. You can try increasing your probiotics and make sure that you are eating high fiber foods to increase the bulk to prevent loose stools.

If you do start having any cramping, discomfort, or consistently loose stools then you would want to tell your doctor. They might consider a stool sample to rule out any infections.

Usually GI motility is increased after eating so maybe your body is healing and doing what it is supposed to do [Smile]

Yes, that can be good. It's best to have several a day (even when in the best of health).

Just in case... up the probiotics and make sure you are on a high quality one.
