Malabsorption of drugs?
I am still awaiting a diagnosis of PA, but do suspect I do have it. My stomach pH level was recently 8.1, so very low stomach acid, which is why I am not absorbing/processing B12, iron and folate. I also did a test which showed I have very low diamine oxidase in my gut so have histamine intolerance.

Goats milk kefir
Hi, Does anyone drink Chuckling Goat kefir? I have had some on and off over the last few weeks, but not consistently so not sure if it helps. It is a very strong kefir that is full of B12. I am not sure yet if I have pernicious anaemia, or whether it is a gut dysbiosis problem as I do not appear to be

Does anybody get severe cramps; legs,pectoral and feet?
I have been on Ibrance for nearly 6 years. I feel I am doing well overall but I get very painful muscle cramps. I have experimented with Magnesium Oxide, Glycinate/Hylands Leg Cramps/Curcumin/Tonic water/Calcium and Potasium. The only thing that helps is drinking magnesium citrate power in water during

Best magnesium dosage
I have been taking Life Extension extended release magnesium (as ZumXR magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate) 500 mg (2 capsules of 250 mg each). I understand from Daphne’s Facebook group that Mg Oxide is not recommended. I intend to switch to Mg-1-threonate. Does anyone know what dosage of Mg-1-threonate

Magnesium CAUSING muscle cramps
Forgive the capitals. I have found the sweet spot for magnesium supplementation for constipation and its about 600mg split between 2 doses of 1/4 ts oxide but its also unfortunately causing me muscle cramps and dry eyes to the point I can't wear contact lenses during supplementation. I have tried many

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Heme vs Non-Heme Iron Supplements
Since being diagnosed with low ferritin three months ago, I've been on ferrous sulfate tablets (1 - 65mg along with 500 mg vitamin C twice a day with meals). It's been working fine (went from 11 to 45 in a month) without any side effects. However, early on, I purchased a bottle of Three Arrows Heme after

Iron Levels
I am a 74-year-old woman living in New Zealand. I was on Ropinirole for restless legs for approximately 3 years.

b12 keeps dropping ferritin
Hi Friends, Has anyone had success raising and maintaining ferritin after it dropped from b12 injections? I first caught the iron issue in October, after shots all last summer. I tried many supplements until landing on the least bad offender to my stomach. I got my ferritin to 33, but it dropped
