Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi Betty: I don’t know if I already wrote to you but I had the most awful GI problems for almost 10 years before getting diagnosed last June with NO MOTILITY (Gastroparesis) and so because nothing was moving, I had a lot of Nausea, bacteria overgrown and not able to sleep because of all that. I just didn’t like eating anymore. I was so sick. So I got myself some Lugol’s 5% and started off with 1 drop per day for 1 week, then 2 drops per day for the 2nd week, then 3 drops per day for the 3rd week and that is when I started to notice some improvement. By the 8th week (and at 8 drops) I was very happy. No more nausea, no more bloating – I now feel normal for once. Write with any questions.

Which form were you able to tolerate? If it was lugols, was it 2% or 5%. I am debating which way to go here. I don't know of anyone, except for those of us here in this group, that are knowledgeable about iodine therapy. What level did you get to in your iodine use? You previously mentioned an array of other symptoms. Are these related to being hypo or associated with the iodine use?

You may need to do some other things to help your bowels get working better †" extra vit C and magnesium may help. Make sure you are using the daily salt and try salt loading also. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The iodine will nourish your body, it just is sometimes hard getting your body to clear out well! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Donna in IL, moderator > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > From: iodine [mailto:iodine ] On Behalf Of Betty > > > > > Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2012 5:08 PM > > > > > iodine > > > > > Subject: swithcing track > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Okay, I've decided to switch track. I tried 3 days of 1/2 iodoral tab. It made my stomach bloat. I decided to try the ashwagandha to strengthen my adrenals first. I was taking 2/day for about 3 weeks and my bowels were so sluggish, I once again am bloated, even after backing off to 1/day. I am not overweight. I usuallly weigh about 125 lbs but have gained a few pounds with this endeavor. I have decided that if I am going to be able to use the iodine at all I will try the liquid Lugols starting at the very lowest dose possible to see if my bowels can handle it. I need to know if I should try the 2% or the 5% . Any advice would be welcome. I do want my hypothyroid to be treated with the iodine. I do have the supplements mentioned. I did use them with the initial try. Thank you very much. > > > > > > > > > > Betty > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > TODAY(Beta) • Powered by > > > > > What your pediatrician won't tell you > > > > > Studies show antibiotics don't always work, but doctors prescribe them anyway. > > > > > Privacy Policy > > > > > > > > > > > > size=1 width="100%" noshade color="#aca899" align=center> No virus found in this message.
