Warning signs from MedlinePlus
- Blood or dark, coffee-colored material in vomit: call 911 or go to an emergency room.[1]
- Blood or pus in your stools, black stools, stomach pain that does not go away after a bowel movement, or diarrhea with a fever above 101°F (38.33°C): contact your provider right away.[2]
- Unable to keep any fluids down for 12 hours or more, vomiting for longer than 24 hours, vomiting 3 or more times in 1 day, or severe belly pain: seek care right away.[1]
- Signs of dehydration, such as dizziness, lightheadedness or a dry mouth: contact your provider right away.[2]
What human BPC-157 data exist for GI symptoms
- FDA found no human study of BPC-157 taken by mouth, under the skin, nasally or on the skin.[3]
- The two rectal-enema studies lasted two weeks at most; headache and flatulence were the events reported most often in healthy adults, with no obvious difference from placebo.[3]
- For adults, diarrhea that gets worse or does not get better in 5 days is a reason to contact a provider.[2]
To ask your clinician
- Could these symptoms come from something other than the peptide?
- Do I need stool or blood tests before anything else changes?
- Should I stop the product while we look for the cause?
- Does my existing gut condition change what we should watch for?
