Topic Title: Depression <- SJW -> IBS
| | "Depression <- SJW -> IBS" , Wed 4 Dec 04:09
Hi, I've been taking SJW (2 x 300mg various brands) on and off for the past year for mild-moderate anxiety related depression and it works Perfectly. BUT every time, just when the SJW kicks in, IBS type symptoms also start, these include bloating, constipation gas etc. The unusual point being, that onset of the anti-depressive effect coincides exactly with the onset of the IBS symptoms. The reverse happens when I reduce or stop taking SJW.
Anyone else had similar experiences or opinions as to what’s happening?
Thanks jimf

No guarantees here , but this has worked for me. I have problems similar to yours, diverticulosis. Everytime i took SJW it would help the depression but cause very bad intestine discomfort. I take a SJW tablet with each meal, 300mg each time. I take the tablet in the middle of each meal, not before or after, but during the meal. After i eat i drink some water, probably 4-8 ozs. Since iv'e started doing this my problems with SJW have gone away. It took me a long time to find this system. All other ways wouldn't work for me. I hope it will help you also, good luck. James
