Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Dawn, Please don't give up on taking copper!!! Take it after you finish eating your meal and it won't give you the nauseaous.(sp)Its best that you do it that way. I've had this happen to me before. I used to take it on an empty stomach but now I know better. Do not take it on an empty stomach it can cause nauseous feelings and vomiting. Hope this helps!!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Dear Dawn, I am also very sensitive, and totally understand. I have to be very careful with myself, and can usually tell when something is bothering my system, same as you. swears that beer made him feel much better, as it contains lots of copper. He states that when he started drinking beer, among other things, he started to get better. I don't know how you feel about beer, but, if you ever find yourself craving it, the need for copper might be the reason why. I know how hard it is to balance everything out. Your efforts are commendable! Regards, AntJoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Hi Dawn, I think that having bad reactions to beer, other alcohol, and/or copper indicates iron deficiency. Try iron, B12, folic acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Guess what.. the most happiest and delectably delightful years of my life were from 23 - 32, my beer drinking and fag smoking years. Before that I was far too earnest and wanted to save the world, and thought that I just might be able to! Was always struggling with weight gain and had a slow metablolism and had fitful weeks of " sadness " where I would do alot of staring (what was that? hypo?). Even though I am " grossly hyper " at the moment, my metabolism is NOT going all that mad. I am still 140 lbs and 5'5 " tall.. I used to be 155 sometimes but my weight fluctuated between those two figures for all of my late teens and twenties - I would loose and gain 7lbs every menstral cycle. I would LOVE to drink beer again, I adored how it made me feel and used to wonder if I was a secret alcoholic because of how much I used to like it. I'd stop every once in a while for about six weeks and think " that was easy, I can't have a problem " and start again. However, last year, (after my initial " turn " when I was on a train and my heart left my chest and went off beating in my head etc) I just suddenly became alcohol intolerant, in the sense that if I had a glass of wine or a beer with a meal I would be in bed ill all of the next day. So I stopped drinking for fun then, drunk experimetnally for a few months to see if it really was that makkng me ill the next day, but it was, so I stopped. I still wonder if I initially fell ill with pancreatitis (cos I have guzzled more than my share in my time!) or some other gastric thing and then because I had to give up this essential source of copper, everything got thrown out of balance. All my blokey old drinking friends tease me these days and say " you should never have given up the drink, have a beer, you'll be right! " If it wasnt' for my reaction to alcohol, I think they'd be right. Thanks for the encouragement ... it really helps.
