Re: Carnitine and Diarrhea

[Guest guest]

Thanks. That's an awesome post. I think, based on that info, that I

was giving my child way too much. I'll try again with a lowered dose,

and on an empty stomach. So far, I've learned in the past few days

that both zinc and l-carn should be given on an empty stomach.

Here's the info I just read on taking carnitine on an empty stomach:

CARNITINE and DIGESTION

The breakdown of meat starts in the mouth with chewing of our food

and saliva. In the stomach, hydrochloric acid provides a major

dismantling of protein structure. The next step is the small

intestine where bile from the liver via the gall bladder has further

action in digestion of meat. Pancreatic enzymes are also released

here, with action on all classes of foods. When food hits the

stomach, the message goes out to mobilise insulin too. Insulin

prepares the cells to receive glucose. The messenger doesn't know

how much is coming so whether we are having a snack or a roast

dinner, the body prepares for a big meal. Carnitine is absorbed

before fatty foods so supplements need to be taken on an empty

stomach.
