  11. Deb Plum, I had similar problems.... IF your itching shows up in the genitalia area first....then you probably have a Riboflavin deficiency...aka Pellagra Sine Pellagra... You might also be diagnosed with Pruritus Ani... Being low in B-2 aka Riboflavin and Biotin and/or Niacin (B-3) and B-6 can produce similar symptom's... Here is...
  12. CMCM, I recently trialed Potassium to see if it would help my blood sugar issues with Wheatwacked encouraging.....but it (Potassium) did not....just to make sure I had covered all my bases... But, I was fortunate I learned early on that the body through the kidneys manages for Magnesium.....and you won't become low in Potassium until you also become...
  13. CMCM, Magnesium Glycinate is well tolerated.....and really is better than the Magnesium Chloride (IMHO) Depending on the form of Magnesium Citrate LIKE Powder's.....too much Mg Citrate could cause flushing.....an urge to pass a "movement' in the first 20 to 30 minutes after taking Magnesium Citrate.... But usually only in the powder forms....
  14. To All, I just wanted to add this nice FAQs on Stool Color since it has come up during the discussion.... Most times' it harmless....but their are few colors you should worry about it...

  15. MJ, My guess is for Ulcers??? Often it is a cristiana describes it can feel like a "a burning stomach"....or as I have described it....someone is putting a cigarette butt out in your stomach... It is from a H. Pylori infection..... here is an article about it... https://www.healthline.com/health/excessive-burping#h-pylori-infection ...
  16. Wheatwacked, NO, I mean my Blood Sugar.... I regularly test my blood sugar....it went up and stayed up for at least a week.....before now coming down again..... The only supplement I took was the Potassium......so I know it was the Potassium. Magnesium, in part, is how we normally balance our Potassium levels.... I haven't had Potassium...
  17. Knitty Kitty, You really should make a blog post out of "your story".... It is VERY Inspiring! I had a Sulfa drug reaction too! Other people need to know these things! Posterboy,
  18. Cristiana, I have read the same thing.....but no my skin has never itched from it....(I have itched some in the shower with I am told might be a sign of HH)....don't know for sure though??? I have gotten horrible night sweats.....which are (some) better....not completely gone though.... Hopefully as my Ferritin levels drops...the night sweats...
  19. Scott, How long did it take for you to get your Ferritin levels down to "Normal Levels" so your "Blood Draws" could get it down low enough to only have to do it periodically. The doctor (IMO) has been less than communicative to me....about how long I will have to do this... I have heard anywhere form 12 to 18 months.... My first draw went...
  20. CMCM Extremely elevated HDL levels can be a sign of inflammation instead of a Good sign.....especially if you also have had an elevated C-Reactive Protein test....aka CRP. Here is an article about it.... https://www.healthline.com/health/high-hdl#issues A matter of fact those with HDL levels over 100 is an independent risk factor for heart...
  21. Scott, Good article! I Believe it! See this older research about how changing "Fat" bugs in our GI tract to "Skinny" Bugs people lost weight even without a Gastric Bypass necessary.

I have had that Creatinine in the kidneys and taking Benfotiamine helped it! See this research entitled "Metabolic Benefits of Six-month Thiamine Supplementation in...
  23. Wheatwacked, I concur with your B-5 Pantothenic Acid research..... I had taken it too.....they recommend it as Pantothenic Complex.....for some reason taking "Straight B-5" doesn't do it.... I think I mentioned (B-5) in the other thread......I took B-5 for a while (I've taken all the B-Vitamins) at one time or another to see which ones might...
  24. Pokey, Try the Benfotiamine form or (another Fat Souble form like Allithiamine or Lipothiamine (both much harder to find and why I recommended the Benfotiamine form)) because they have much better absorption rates.....the Thiamine in most B-complex's have low Bio-availability... I think you are following this thread but go back and read my Posterboy...
  25. Pokey, The nausea can come from a Vagus Nerve disorder....triggered by Low Thiamine levels.... https://www.md-health.com/Vagus-Nerve.html Stress can trigger heartburn......because it depletes our stomach acid...
