Unable to take Zinc - What should I do??????

[Guest guest]

Hello All - Since I am Hg toxic I need zinc, and also have all the

symptoms of Zn deficiency with premature greying and so many others,

but still unable to take small amount of Zn like 5 mg. I take Zn(Zinc

glycinate from metagenics) with food but after 10-15 minutes I hear

gas moving around my stomach. Gas noise is really loud so very

embarrasing. Please tell me what should I do?????

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Sunny, I have problems with zinc also, specifically cramps in my

toes isn't that weird? Have you tried taking it with Selenium and

Vit E? Maybe before bedtime? I read that zinc works with selenium,

so who knows, maybe that is worth a try. I have lately been thinking

I don't need extra zinc anymore because the white spots are gone from

my fingernails (still have the premature grey hair though

My best to you,

Liz

Here is my zinc stories.

As I recall in the time line way back ... that before I had

my manganese levels improved there may have been a connection

to how I reacted to zinc. ,Zinc would make me very , very

ill when taken on an empty stomach.. I am thinking this may

have to do with the gallbladder bile flow as manganese

improved my pain around my liver area and also my fatigue

When I took the zinc on an empty stomach I was throwing up

violently.. I could take other minerals by themselves on an

empty stomach

I just find all of the minerals sooo important that you

should find a way to take it..

Here are two stories.. Right at this moment I have a tooth

infection which is responding very well to high zinc and

selenium. I cannot say it will cure it but it is at least

keeping it from abscessing and giving me time to get over

another crisis I am right now in.. probably having to do with

manganese deficiency again.

ANother story....I had a staph infection on the corner of my

mouth about 3 years ago.. I had been on antibiotics and it

just came back within a week after.. I started taking high

dose of zinc one day. THe next morning I could see it

starting to heal. I added in the selenium as it is also good

for infections and it totally healed in a few days.

Having to do with minerals ... what brand of molybdenum do

people buy with high doses so as to make up to the 1000 mg

ANdy suggests.???.. I am only taking 150 mg and would like to

increase it if it is not cost prohibitive.

I have the same problem with zinc & nausea too. I've noticed that I'm

more likely to feel sick if I'm adrenally stressed. Zinc is supposed

to taste neutral or tasty if you are low on it. I've only recently

started taking zinc again but have to split my zinc tablets because

of the nausea. I always take it with food. I've read that zinc

counteracts manganese somewhat like it does with copper, though I

don't know how strong the relationship is.

Selenium makes me really really irritable.. I wish I knew why.

Are you sure on the molybdenum units? I've bought kirkman's 100mcg

capsules before (spectrum supplements canada and feelgoodnatural.ca).

Thorne sells 1000mcg (1mg) but I don't know where to get that in

Canada.
