Re: Can Iodoral cause diarrhea?

Laurel:

I would bet the diarrhea is from the Metformin. It happened to me and took several weeks to get used to it. I love reading the posts here and maybe someone will have a better answer. I'm learning something every day here.

I'm still leery about this Iodine but now up to 2 drops a day and will stay here for a month. What concerns me is HOW MUCH DO I REALLY NEED? I have Diabetic Gastroparesis and wonder if this SLOW-MOVING digestion will affect HOW the Iodine is used.

Hi All - I've had diarrhea on & off for about 6 weeks. I've been on 100mg Iodoral/day for 2 weeks and since then the diarrhea has gotten much worse. I feel quite weak and sometimes light-headed. I wonder if I've gone hyperT. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I've been on 1000mg Metformin /day for several months. That's an rx that also causes diarrhea when you first start on it. Flechas never said to reduce this dosage, but now I'm reading that many people need to reduce their blood sugar meds when on KI. Maybe I need to reduce the Metformin, but the diarrhea did pre-date the Iodoral.Thanks,Laurel

Hi Laurel,

If you have had the diarrhea on and off for six weeks before you started Iodoral, then I would think it is not the iodine. However, diarrhea is one of the symptoms on the bromide detox list. Are you taking the companion nutrients daily? (magnesium, Vitamin C, Selenium and unrefined Celtic Sea Salt). Even though I would think the diarrhea is most likely due to another cause, if it were me, I would do some Salt Loading to help move things along. Have you tried that? If Metformin can cause diarrhea, it could be that, sorry I have no experience with Metformin. But again, I would do some salt loading. Also, I would start taking a good probiotic to feed the colon healthy bacteria. Best, Kathleen

Hi Bonnie,

Remember, iodine that your body does not need, will wash out of the body in urine. Make sure you are taking the companion nutrients and drinking lots of good clean water. Iodine is vital for the health and well being in every part of the body. Best, Kathleen

Both Too much vitamin C in one dose or too much magnesium in one dose can easily cause diarrhea so if those are new habits for you, try putting magnesium oil on your skin and try adding both some C and salt to your drinking water to spread those out. My system tips that way quite easily and had to go to L-glutamine and probiotics to heal my GI tract about 5 years ago and avoid cassein and gluten and  and sugar and yeast and packaged foods.. to heal up but that did happen taking those steps..Pam

Hi Kathleen - The diarrhea is *much* worse since starting the Iodoral. How

often do people become hyperT when taking 100mg Iodoral per day? I feel so weak

& dizzy & sometimes even nauseous. I'm restless if I just sit around but if I

have to get up and do something then I feel like a wet dishrag and even break

out into a cold sweat!

I stopped the Metformin for now and will monitor my blood sugar. How often

should I take the sea salt? I took my temp last night and it was 98.2 which is

pretty high for me which is why I think maybe I've gone hyper. Also, at work

where there is a controlled temperature I often find myself reaching for the

fan. Just last year I was always reaching for the heater. Oy.

Thanks,

Laurel

I was just reading yesterday about Metformin. It can cause diarrhea if you are

eating too many carbs. The article said it should be used along with a paleo

diet.

I would give a call to the doc that prescribed the Metformin. Metformin can

cause lactic acidosis which can cause weakness and light-headedness. At the

very least the diarrhea can throw your electrolytes out of balance.

Are you checking blood sugar regularly also?

Patients who take Metformin should have their kidney function tested prior to

starting the drug and at least annually afterwards. It's also not a drug that

one should be on if they have any type of liver problems.

Iodine improves the hormone receptors and in diabetes can improve or cure

insulin resistance. Flechas tested with high dose amounts.

Linn - My blood sugar wasn't terrible before the Met, but I'm insulin

resistant, and the Met sure made me feel more energetic. I've been on it since

last August. Also, I lost 20 lbs from taking it. It did live me slight liver

pains for the first few days... but that was last August. I think it has been

good for me although I'd like to find out if it lowered my fasting insulin.

My fasting bs this morning was 89 which is pretty darn good, and I've been

taking half doses of Met since I read that Iodoral can also reduce need for bs

meds.

And yesterday, gosh I can't remember now if I took only 50 mg Iodoral, or none

at all. Talk about brain fog! Anyway, yesterday I either took none, or a half

dose, of Iodoral, but still drank the salt water. I felt somewhat better, but

still tired. Still had 3 bm's yesterday, but they weren't so liquid. Sorry,

TMI.

Could the Iodoral be making me hyperT? Some people say being Hyper can also

make you tired...? I slept 9 hours last night and could've slept on and on.

Linn - It's so odd that he didn't mention that to me. He knows I'm on the

Metformin, have a history of pcos and worsening blood sugars. I just don't

understand him.

I am also anemic so I've been taking 30 - 45 mg of SunActive Non-Irritating

iron/day. Occasionally I take 2-3 Betaine HCL with lunch, but usually forget.

Duh. I follow a WAPF diet 80% of the time, raw milk, grass-fed beef, veggies

from the garden, eggs from our own hens, homemade bread, etc.

I put digestive enzymes on my list of things to order from Swanson's... can't

hurt, eh?

Thanks Ido, I've been on long-term low-carb diets, too, but I don't think they

are a cure. I've been reading about Syndrome X for 15 years. Avoiding carbs

will not reverse insulin resistance, imho, it makes it worse. A cure would mean

being able to eat normal amounts of carby foods without a blood sugar problem.

I don't think carbs per se are the problem since many primitive tribes eat

ultra-high carb diets without any ill effects. I think the problem is more

likely to be highly-processed carbs, and I'm not sure that once someone becomes

insulin-resistant that it is possible to reverse. Although I ran into one guy

online who claims that a month of fasting, followed by a raw diet is enough of a

" reset button " .

And I've taken alpha-lipoic acid for several years. I'm so sick of taking

pills. Argh.

I do fairly routine thyroid testing while on iodine. I've found over the years

that my thyroid doses vary. Last year I was having some hyper symptoms which

also showed true in blood work and I was able to reduce to a very low dose of

thyroid and have been able to stay at 60 mgs. Couldn't hurt to test thyroid

labs to see where you're at.

Not sure on why he didn't mention, maybe he thought you already knew?

What's the other 20% of your diet consist of?

If you're over 25, digestive enzymes certainly can't hurt. :-)

I know lots of folks that have cured their insulin resistance and can eat well.

Now that doesn't mean that they can go back to eating a SAD diet. Exercise will

definitely help insulin levels.

Linn -

The other 20% is eating out, eating at friend's houses, eating " treats " at

work... It's the 80/20 rule. Be good 80% of the time and don't fret over the

20%.

Yes, I'm definitely over 25! I think all my troubles started around 47, argh.

Linn - So true. One of my grandmothers was a tiny little thing and she had a

raging bad case of type 2. Lost her eyesight and both of her legs. I'm not

real sure what her diet was like though cuz I wasn't around her that much.

I've read that the skinny ones have much worse cases. That they are

" metabolically obese " .

Would love to hear about your friends who have overcome insulin resistance.

What do you think are the most important things to change? I think that iodine

is one of the important things, yes? Because it helps improve the hormone

receptors?

I think the iodine is important also, but the folks I know made radical changes

in their diets. I think that it's vital to normalize all hormone function and

correct any vitamin and mineral deficiencies also.

Laurel,I realize I am way late on this, but I don’t see anyone has addressed your hyper concerns. Iodine will NOT make you hyper, it is used to correct both hyper and hypo thyroid problems. The symptoms you are seeing can be detox symptoms. There is a list I believe in the new members documentation of detox symptoms. I can’t remember, but you need to be taking the companion nutrients and I see you are taking the salt. Your temps still only being 98.2 is still low, even though it is better for you. They are not indicating hyper, as they are still not normal. My guess is that you are detoxing, and may need some good liver support/cleansing, and remember that sometimes you have to have a healing crisis before you feel better. It seems you are dealing with several issues that are probably being effected by the iodine, and may make you feel bad for a while. But remember the iodine is healing your body, and it may take time. Donna in IL Hi Kathleen - The diarrhea is *much* worse since starting the Iodoral. How often do people become hyperT when taking 100mg Iodoral per day? I feel so weak & dizzy & sometimes even nauseous. I'm restless if I just sit around but if I have to get up and do something then I feel like a wet dishrag and even break out into a cold sweat!I stopped the Metformin for now and will monitor my blood sugar. How often should I take the sea salt? I took my temp last night and it was 98.2 which is pretty high for me which is why I think maybe I've gone hyper. Also, at work where there is a controlled temperature I often find myself reaching for the fan. Just last year I was always reaching for the heater. Oy.Thanks,Laurel>> Hi Laurel,> If you have had the diarrhea on and off for six weeks before you started Iodoral, then I would think it is not the iodine. However, diarrhea is one of the symptoms on the bromide detox list. Are you taking the companion nutrients daily? (magnesium, Vitamin C, Selenium and unrefined Celtic Sea Salt). Even though I would think the diarrhea is most likely due to another cause, if it were me, I would do some Salt Loading to help move things along. Have you tried that? If Metformin can cause diarrhea, it could be that, sorry I have no experience with Metformin. But again, I would do some salt loading. Also, I would start taking a good probiotic to feed the colon healthy bacteria. Best, Kathleen> Can Iodoral cause diarrhea?> > > > Hi All - I've had diarrhea on & off for about 6 weeks. I've been on 100mg Iodoral/day for 2 weeks and since then the diarrhea has gotten much worse. I feel quite weak and sometimes light-headed. I wonder if I've gone hyperT. Has anyone else experienced this? > > Also, I've been on 1000mg Metformin /day for several months. That's an rx that also causes diarrhea when you first start on it. Flechas never said to reduce this dosage, but now I'm reading that many people need to reduce their blood sugar meds when on KI. Maybe I need to reduce the Metformin, but the diarrhea did pre-date the Iodoral.> Thanks,> Laurel>

Magnesium can give you diarrhea too, if you take too much of it. It is in all sorts of supplements so be sure to read the labels so you are aware. Carol
