Diarrhea Cha Cha Cha

abbot138 · Mar 27, 2015

Im using Mike Arnold's slin protocol, maxing out at 10ius, Karboload and Hydrolyzed Whey for my Pro and Carb (plus creatine, beta, arginine, taurine, leucine), and also using Metformin on off days.

Now I know Metformin can cause diarrhea but here is the thing. I am getting 2 or 3 rounds of CRAZY diarrhea on my slin days, NOT my Metformin days, like clockwork after the 2nd or 3rd shake.

I guess it could be the Karboload, but I know thats a quality product and I havent heard anyone else complain about it. My slin was shipped from a pretty "reputable" online Canadian pharmacy and was sent in ice packs.

I feel fine after those 2 or 3 attacks and im not going hypo or anything after, just find it a bit concerning and definitely inconvenient. Im going to drop the Metformin for a few days and see if that ends it.

If I took everything Mike recommends in that insulin protocol, I'd be shitting my brains out too. Creatine, beta, taurine, and karb will all draw water into the intestines which can cause an evacuation of the bowels. Some people can tolerate it, but others like myself would end up miserable.

Makes sense, thanks man.

Same story here... though I substituted waxy maize as my carb source. Exact same result as you. Only had blood glucose issues once as a result improper digestion. Ohh and my farts are incredibly stinky

Glad Im not the only one..... Leucine, Beta and Taurine coming out, will see what happens with just Pro/Carb and Creatine.....My cheap ass is riding it out since i spent money on the Karboload.

Haha, yea the carbs can get expensive. I've seen alot of the old school guys just stick with glucose. On the occasion that I had bg issues (vision disturbance) I had to go to the bathroom mid lift and could see the undigested leucine and or taurine in my stool. I always keep glucose tabs on my person when using insulin for safety. Also keep a few gronola bars in my gym bag. Let us know if this makes the difference for you.
I ran Mike Arnolds protocol for 4 weeks, 18 doses/sessions all but the first 2 were at 15 ius. Didn't gain much. Maybe 2 lbs and a little visceral fat under by belly button. Combined this with 750 test e and 4-500 tren a. Overall I feel thicker but that's about it. Did notice some strength gain too
