RE: taurine- bile flow -hypoglycemia

[Guest guest]

Another angle on taurine which I hope no one else has to deal with...when on

TTFD, my son's stool did get pale and he did get constipated. Taurine

definitely helped with this. It also caused his hypoglycemia to get really,

really bad. There is such a thing ( I found out) called taurine-induced

hypoglycemia. Apparantely while taurine in some cases helps with

hypoglycemia, or maybe with diabetes, it can also cause insulin levels to get

too high, which can cause hypoglycemia. I still haven't figured out why

sometimes taurine is supposed to help hypoglycemia, and other times cause

it....still reading up on it. I stopped taurine as soon as we got off a round

of TTFD and his hypoglycemia is back in control. I tried taurine a few days

later when still off TTFD to see if maybe the metals stirring around had

something to do with the onset of his hypoglycemia, but it seems it was the

taurine to blame. His hypoglycemia came right back.

Debbie,

Where did you “find out” that Taurine can induce hypoglycemia? Is there

a paper, website I can read?

In your post you say in regards to Taurine, “it can also cause insulin

levels to get

too high, which can cause hypoglycemia.” Would not that be

hypErglycemia.

You also mention you were still reading up on it, anything new.
