Two thoughts:

1. since you are already flaring the die off may be putting a lot of

stress on your body. Reducing the dose may help especially if you

started with a full dose. Epsom salt baths can also help by drawing

toxins out of the body.

2. Are all ingredients of the undecanoic acid legal? Any illegal

fillers?

3. (I thought of something else) I think I also read something about

caprylic acid (undecanoic acid) and colitis and that they may be

contraindicated - but I don't know why or if this is accurate.
