Has anyone tried Hoodia? I found a brand that has Hoodia and glucomannan in it and it's

really cut my appetite with no side effects so far. I usually will get an upset stomach, or headaches or joint pain or something from those over the counter diet pills. My weight was at a stall and now I'm losing again. I think I finally found a diet pill that helps without side effects. I don't use the hoodia that has green tea in it because it bothers me.

I read somewhere that Pfizer had bought the rights to it, but upon further research discovered it may cause liver damage, so they didn't do anything w/ the rights. Be careful... Do a search of "hoodia side effects".

I'm going for a check up on May 4th. I will have a liver panel done. Thanks for the info. You're the first person who said it caused liver damage.

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.
