abdominal bloating: was Stress Dosing for Fun Stuff?? Bump

[Guest guest]

Hi Val, I had asked you about high cortisol in afternoon possibly causing

bloating, and you

suggested dropping the noon dose to see if that helped. So for the last two

days I've done

15-0-5 (extended release cortisol) instead of 15-5-5, and I'm still bloating. I

feel very low

cortisol (the lights are too bright and I only have one nerve left!), and my

blood pressure

on a *good* day was never over 110/70, and today I'm freezing, my temps have

dropped

like I'm not getting the thyriod. (97.9 & 98.1 so far when my last 3 days

averages were

actually 98.5 and .6.) So is it safe to say I didn't have high cortisol?

But I'm still trying to figure out what's causing this bloating. Last two times

it happened

were when I remembered to supplement salt. Could the sea salt be doing this

somehow?

As in i'm out of balance with other electrolites or something? I didn't think

it was possible

to be low potassium on a high meat diet. I often have a really high pulse (can

be 115 if I

stand up from laying down). I haven't got my aldosterone tested yet because my

last

doctor refused. - hoping to find a cooperative one before my next cycle starts.

Thanks for any input -- this is really baffling me.
