Health Risks And Side Effects Of Nitric Oxide Supplements

Diarrhea

Dreamstime

Diarrhea occurs if a patient experiences more than three loose or watery stools in a twenty-four-hour period. Individuals who take nitric oxide supplements may occasionally experience this side effect, especially if they take large doses or use a combination of several supplements. In addition to watery and loose stools, diarrhea can lead to abdominal cramping, bloating, dehydration, and nausea. Patients who use beetroot as a nitric oxide supplement could notice their diarrhea is pink or red too. Diarrhea usually resolves on its own after two days, and patients might want to use an over-the-counter medicine such as loperamide to ease symptoms. Eating a low-fiber diet is recommended, and the patient must have adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Patients should see a doctor if diarrhea continues for more than two days or if it occurs in conjunction with a fever, dehydration, weight loss, or significant pain. A doctor's appointment should also be made if patients notice their stool contains blood, mucus, or undigested food.
