+++Hi Tina,

Calcium or baking soda is added to ascorbic acid crystals to buffer it which

makes it less acidic, but it does not help you absorb it.

If it contains calcium or any other mineral it throws off cal/mag and other

mineral balances. If you want to calculate the amount of calcium in it and

lower your calcium citrate supplement that would be okay, but then you would not

be able to take extra doses when needed for short-term treatments, like for

constipation.

Baking soda is sodium so it makes your body lose water along with important

minerals like calcium and magnesium.

If non-buffered ascorbic acid crystals are mixed in enough water it won't burn

your throat and it must be taken with meals.

You can take the alternative which is vitamin C tablets or capsules.

All the best, Bee

Thanks Bee.

The thing is, that no docs understand, is when I became ill 2.5 yrs ago, water

alone burns me too! Drinking it. I can tolerate it hot for some reason, but not

last 2 days anyway.

I am so so sensitive, that having anything acidic seems to burn my throat

esophagus and gut.

Even the cal/mag citrates, are very acidic for me. Just my particular problem I

guess.

My problem is also very loose acrid, foul odour stools. For 2.5 yrs now. I

only had constipation on 2 occassions, when I had taken antibiotics, and the

firm stool lasted a few weeks or so. I always have stool that burns my anus,

and is very loose, or 'drizzly'. Strong odour and just not 'normal'.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Tina

+++Hi Tina,

Yes, you may be sensitive, but that is because your body is retracing every

single episode you've had in the past, including your burning throat, but that

does not mean the foods and supplements on my program cause it. It is because

of how the body heals itself.

You need to do my 9-Day Program:
