    The RDA is 2000 IU a day but you can in theory go up to 100, 000 IU a day without any ill effects. My doc and i discussed this at length. it just depends what the intent is. Vit D can be megadosed for therapeutic reasons or just to get back to a level of sufficiency

    Well my food sensitivities have greatly diminished - probably do to healing my gut and taking digestive enzymes and HCL with all my meals. I use the charcoal when im in situations where i dont want to be bloated (i.e. date, social, etc). Problem now is i have supplements i need to take but they are very bloating and im not sure what else to do. As for...

    Hi- I just had followup tests and all my food sensitivities have diminished dramatically since going gluten-free and also taking digestive enzymes and intestinal health supplements. My thyroid panel looked ok and negative for Hasimoto's, but my T3 thyroid is low and my adrenals are under performing so my doc put me on some supplements to treat that. Thing...

    Hi all- i went on a short term antibiotic (Rifaximin) regimen in November to try to help with possible bacterial overgrowth. I always seem to feel better when i am on antibiotics so figured there was a reason. The day after i finished my course i stupidly drank too much at a party and felt horrible for a few days. ever since this I have had lower abdominal...

    sorry lisa- was just concerned about red blood anything showing up in my stool and was wondering if overgrowth of dysbiotic bacteria can cause this. my main problem is low levels of lactobacilli and bifido despite pumping myself full of different varieties of probiotics ofr 5 years

    i just posted on my stool test and looks like they identified a few red blood cells in my stool via microscope. i do have a fissure so its possible the sample got contaminated with blood, but of course this has me concerned now. i do seem to have a very unbalanced GI tract and things have been out of whack after taking rifaximin back in november; lots of...

    Its been a year or so since my last stool test so i just had one and got the results today. not much has changed, still have dysbiotic bacteria..enterobacter clocae is the predominant one and also have alpha-hemolytic and beta strep which is odd cause i thought those were respiratory infections only. Lactobacilli is low as always (+1) and bifido is non...

    Are the symptoms always diarrhea? i did a short course of rifaximin and have been bloated ever since despite heavy probiotic supplementation. can c.diff cause bloating and gas w/o diarrhea or is that unlikely? thanks

    Liquor and way too much. what do u think it could have done? right now i can be completely fine one day but the next day bloated and gassy then ok again the next day

    a few yrs ago i took rifaximin to treat bacterial overgrowth, i supplemented during & after with intensive probiotics and had very good results for a while after. my stools and bowel function normalized. so i tried a 2nd course a little over a month ago and unfortunately i didnt have the same results. ever since i have been experiencing severe bloating...

    i have been taking it with meals when i eat out in case i accidentally ingest dairy & it helps with gas. i will be in paris for a week and eating out may pose a challenge and i wont be in a position to be too picky with food. would it be ok to take charcoal every day with every meal?

    I have been off gluten since 07 and at first was super strict and it made me absolutely paranoid and I hated life, so I decided to toss caution in the wind and go back to eating out and my life has been great again. I am still SUPER careful when I dine at restaurants but I just dont obsess the way I used to. Thing is, can I still be harming myself? i never...

    im spending a week with a girl im seeing in Paris the week of xmas/new yrs - her and i love food and we always go to great places. thing is Paris may be tricky with the gluten issue. I managed to survive in Germany for 3 weeks and ate out all the time so i think i can do it again in Paris. my question is are there any supplements i can take to protect my...
