Hey everybody. I’m back on the supplements band wagon after a couple of years deciding that they were more money than they were worth. But we try anything twice as PWP right? 😂
Trouble is, one of these little beauties is giving me terrible upset tummy (gurgling like Ol’ Faithful). Without me trying to isolate one at a time would anybody have any suggestions about which of the following is the most likely culprit: thanks in advance.
I don't know whether the supplements work or not but at least can induce placebo effect in some. Anything that alleviate symptoms is welcome even the Placebo
Jeeves,Supplements you have listed don't seem to be digestive offenders, however they usually have inactive ingredients which may trigger a reaction. Mannitol can be definitely a culprit - some supplements contain it as an inactive ingredient and I suspect there could be other ones hiding in fine print that can contribute to this problem.
Also alpha lipoic acid chelates mercury, which sounds like a good thing - unless you have mercury amalgam fillings in your mouth. Then it can be disastrous. Because it stirs up the mercury, but there is just too much for the ala to bind to, so now you have more mercury floating around ready to get to your brain. I dont know if you have any mercury fillings, but if you do, i would eliminate the ala.
Jujubeeme - Mercury is a neurotoxin, and can cause a myriad of problems. It caused my PD. The risk of worsening PD symptoms is not worth the benefit of stabilizing blood sugar levels. I would look for something else to do that.
I hope that you drink a lot of organic unfiltered apple juice and eat an apple a day. Also taking natural pectin helps carry those heavy metals from your system. I didn't mean to offend you by my comment...
No offense taken. I didnt mean to give off that vibe. Im done with my mercury issue. I chelated in 2005 after finding out my mercury level was off the chart.
An aside from the tummy upset issue -- you may want to check out the difference between l-carnitine and acetyl l-carnitine. I may be wrong, but from what I remember, the acetyl version can pass through the Blood Brain barrier and the non acetyl form can't. Making acetyl better for neurological issues. it's also thought to be more bioavailable. I'm a bit busy with new grandbaby, can't research but you might want to look into this.
Are you still taking mucuna? That caused similar problems to my husband. He had stopped taking it for several days with no relief, so we dismissed it as being the culprit. But neurologist wanted him to stop it for a couple of months while we sorted out the Madopar, and voila, no more gut issues!
Jeeves, my friend, only best way to find out. Stop all of them and start back ONE BY ONE with at least ONE WEEK. between each other (any medication, any supplement or any new food or drink foreign to your gut). My doctor told me that it's the best way to narrow down the possibilities. 🤗
My money goes to alpha lipoic acid. It is a sulfur amino acid which, like Nacetylcysteine (another sulfur amino acid) can cause stomach upset. duckduckgo.com/?q=+Alpha+Li...
