I took sea buckthorn oil and got diarrhea and burning. What should I do?

It sounds like your body might be reacting to the sea buckthorn oil - not quite an allergy, but enough to cause some digestive discomfort. This happens sometimes, but there are easy ways to work through it:

Try These Adjustments:

  • Start low, go slow - If you're taking multiple pills, cut back to just one daily (or every other day) and gradually increase
  • Always take with food - A meal with some healthy fats helps your body process it gently
  • Hydrate smartly - Drink extra water and consider coconut water or electrolyte drinks if diarrhea occurs
  • Soothe your system - Bananas, oatmeal, or psyllium can calm your digestion
  • Ease discomfort - For burning, try fragrance-free wipes or cool rinses instead of toilet paper

Many people find these simple changes make all the difference. But if symptoms continue after a week of trying these tips, your body might be telling you this supplement isn't the right fit.
