Before I start setting new nutritional standards, I'd like to make sure we're on the same page.
Diarrhea can have dozens of causes. What convinces you that yours is as a result of niacin deficiency?
Do you have any of the other symptoms of niacin deficiency?

Most of the people who write telling me they have diarrhea turn out to have soft, unformed stools, but not diarrhea, where the water in the bowl turns brown. Typically, what they are passing is something akin to wet fish food, a soft mass that sits at the bottom of the toilet but does not discolor the water.

Are you certain that you have diarrhea?
