Dextrose

Hi, can anyone tell me if there are ANY NDTs out there without corn (maize) or derivatives like dextrose? Thanks.

Has anyone else had a problem with Dextrose. It says it is 'Gluten Free' but I have eaten a product with this ingredient and I have swelled up like a balloon all around my tummy, abdomen and hips and it hurts.

It has to be paired with Buproprion specifically to keep the Dextrose from metabolizing so quickly. Many Dr’s will give the lowest dose Buproprion 150mg and have the patient buyDextromethirphan over the counter which is very inexpensive. Avuelity is 1200/ month! Anybody out there tried this?

This helped explain a lot and I began to deal with it in the same way that my wife and kids do, by eating a few dextrose tablets or half a banana.

I've written in the past about how useful I've found these in learning to control my blood sugar levels without having to take diabetes meds given the increases and spikes we get from steroids.
