Have you investigated vitamin K deficiency? Gut issues often go hand in hand

with difficulty absorbing vit K.

calcium deficiency.

I used to get nosebleeds when I took too many supplements that thin the blood.

Supplements that thin the blood are: garlic, vit E, and fish oils.

I never got the permanent dents from bruises that you mentioned.

I hope that this helps.

Hi ,

Recently bought some SCD-legal (I think!) Vit K1 and had it tested

kinesiologically -- results were " not beneficial, not harmful " . I started

giving this to my daughter today. May add some Vit K2 in the near future.

My kid seems to be deficient in the vitamins normally made by beneficial

gut flora...of course. Vitamin K is one of these.
