Re: : Supplements

[Guest guest]

I am a real hard head, i need things spelled out for me. 

I don't understand how to figure out how to start 

but i am seeing my chiropractor that is going to give me acupuncture and

supplements to replace the meds i am on. 

I am afraid of the die off that I will experience will be diarrhea.  

she told me that I need calcium, fish oil, magnesium, vitamin D. she said if you

take more than 10 thousand units of Vitamin D it is a waste because your body

can't use it. 

I meet with her again next Friday and i'll find out more about what I'm suppose

to take and how much. 

I really do appreciate this group and all the things we share but my  memory

sucks so bad, 

she is also emailing me a book that the author gave away. 

and when she does I will post it. 

for all to down load. 

if it works. 

the author is from the UK

All i can tell you is this, when I lower my carbs and eat mainly meat fish

poultry offel and eggs, along with the good fats bee suggests my gut problems

really clear up

I did need to wean over pretty slowly, and as you know i took the atkins route,

which helped a lot, especially helped me give up the foods that were harming me,

but that I was addicted to too, the bread chocolate and diet coke are three

examples of foods that were harming me but I craved and craved for. I do not

crave these foods now

Regarding the supplements

All the sites i have ever ventured to regarding IBS Crohns Colitis etc, all of

them recommend cod liver oil for calming the bowl and bringing around correct

gut flora. I personally find codliver oil and other fish oils, like halibut oil

very agreeable

Coconut oil is also often mentioned, mainly i guess because it is so good at

helping the body deal with candida and other pathogens. Plus coconut oil has a

lot of MCTs and if you are doinga low carb diet, these MCTs give us extra

energy. I am fine with coconut oil now, but in the past I found that even a

small amount gave me a lot of healing reactions. Ijust introduced it to my diet

slowly, and over time ate more and more. now coconut oil is the main fat I eat,

appart from the fat on my meat. I do eat plenty of that too

The vitamin bs have never affected my gut. the extra niacin i take exagerates my

healing symptoms, and it is not always pleasant. But because i know what it is,

i know it is the niacin helping my body detox, I do not really worry about this.

Niacin does not give me diarhea

I have been told vitamin C in high doses can make diarhea worse, but i take

4000mg a day, which is quit high and i do notget diarhea at this level. and I

also know vitamin c is extremely important in regards to helping the body heal

the gut, so again i guess i is just a case of introducing it slowly

vitamin E does not affect my gut. in fact i have never had any ill effects at

all from vitamin E. The vitamin E helps my body repair its cells which in some

ways is needed in my gut but for me i would say it is everywhere else, ie my

joints, my muscles my brain etc that has really needed the vitamin E

Magnesium really relaxes my bowel, and my muscles and it halps a lot with pain.

And it helps with insomnia too. It has never given me diarhea but some say it

can so I guess this is one supplement to keep an eye on. I am thinking

introducing this one slowly over time is also a good idea. Remember we must take

calcium if we are taking magnesium, calcium has never givemeany gut problems,

indeed calcium supplements have never given me any ill effects

seasalt, for me is th nmber one supplement. the many minerals in seasalt serve

my body in so many ways. addin it to my bath also helps my bowel relax

Hope at least some of this is helpful

Love Joanne

Any, i like the lamb best, but any are fine.

I mentioned to you recently that taking magnesium helps with colitis and fibro

ie relaxing muscles, helps with insomnia and bowel movements etc. Well if you

have bone broth 3 times a day you do not need the supplements for magnesium

since there is enough magnesium in 3 cups of bone broth to keep us well. Also, I

dont think you need calcium supplements either if you are usuing the bone broth.

I know some folk still use crushed egg shells just to make sure they have enough

calcium but I eat small amounts of unpasturised cheese so I do not bother with

the egg shells

Folk on Bees forum could tell you better than me regarding this. On days when i

have the bone broth i do not take my magnesium or calcium supplements, when I do

not have any bone broth i do. If i have unpasturised cheese I just have half my

daily amount of calcium, but i guess I am confusing you now

but if anybody is struggling to buy all the supplements or just prefers to get

their nutrition from food 3 cups of bone broth does supply us with enough

magnesium and calcium and it also gives us plenty of other nutrients too

Hope this is helpful

Love joanne

My hubby has a very bad back, I have problems with my sacroiliac joint. in his

case it is bulding discs etc and with me it is detox

Both of us are using bone broth daily to deal with this. The minerals in bone

broth strengthen bones and also assist detox, and they relax muscles. Several

folk on Bees site have shared success stories regarding the recovery from very

damaged backs whilst including the bone broth in their diet

I make mine with a slow cooker. I get the bones for free (I say they are for my

dog, LOL, which they are but they give me so many he could not eat them all LOL)

anyway, I put the bones in the slow cooker with sea salt cider vinegar and water

and leave it simmering for 12 hours, then we just drink the juice. It is nicer

than you might expect

I have been told that because it contains potassium it can help us not get

kidney stones, which as you know is important on a ketogenic diet

Lemon juice and high doses of vitamin C with biolaflavanoids are, I believe,

help my liver

Hope some of this is useful

Love Joanne

Wow...wonder what's going on, other than pain and frustration. Am not trying to

sound demeaning or anything. Just have been going through some weird backache.

Don't know if

Hope you have been doing well.
