Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 I cannot take VIT C (any form and virtually any amount except maybe 50mg) without getting the runs. Same thing (worse actually) with ALL magnesiums. SPARX is now giving me the runs too (even half a coffee spn) it has both C and mag in it!!! ImmunePro gives me the runs too............ Garlic gives me the runs What am I to do? I get lots of very, very nasty respiratory infections several times every winter, I always take weeks to months to recover, and I suffer like hell every time. Nelly Vit C report I have taken C as part of my regimen for umpteen years now. When I feel any inflammation- sore throat, cough allergy-eyes-whatever- I increase the dose until the symptom subsides. It has really been very helpful. This month, however, I got distracted and first ran short and then ran out. There was so much going on with me-trying too many new things at once- emotional stuff, too- that I did not relate the slow-motion crash I was having to the missing C. Now that I got some, and have been taking extra for a couple of days, I am just amazed to see how much better I feel, all around.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Calcium ascorbate, (Ester-C), 500mg, w. bioflavanoids.200mg. I think it worked pretty good w. out the bioflavanoids, too. It doesn't say natural anyplace. Adrienne What kind of C are you taking? Natural of the other...???? Maarit... > I have taken C as part of my regimen for umpteen years now.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Nelly, It sounds to me as though the issue here might be malabsorption. Your gut must not be able to extract either vitamin C or magnesium or amino acids from protein very well. The reason these nutrients lead to diarrhea in everyone at some dosage is that their level within the gut remains high enough to retain water in the gut by osmotic force. If this happens to you at low intakes of these nutrients, it must be that they aren't being absorbed well at all. Perhaps your gut also has trouble absorbing other nutrients. Have you considered the bowel treatment program of Dr. Serafina Corsello in her book " The Ageless Woman " (www.corsello.com) that we have discussed here in the past?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Nelly If you're plagued by respiratory infections you could try low dose hydrocortisone for a while if you've got access to a doc to prescribe it. It really helped my respiratory infections. Also Thymic Protein A - but its a bit expensive Vit C report > > > I have taken C as part of my regimen for umpteen years now.
