FW: OT? magnesium stearate and other capsule lubricants

[Guest guest]

,_._,___

Could you help me with a question? We have been on the scd diet and

are seeing lots of improvement in gi function. However, my child

continues to be plagued with inflammation issues. My doctor thinks my

child is reacting to the magnesium stearate in our supps. I see that

my Kirkman's B-6 contains silicon dioxide as a lubricant. Most of my

other Kirkman supps contain magnesium stearate, and some contain both.

Is this also included as a lubricant. Please tell me what is magnesium

stearate? Is it the same thing as v caps- like hydroxyporpyl

methylcellulose? The selenium also has in it L-leucine and

L-selenomethionine. What are these? One of the probiotics contains

both Cellulose and plant cellulose. What is the difference? The doc

said that Thorne supps may not have this lubricant- magnesium stearate.

I also think that Klaire products might be really clean. However, I

thought that Kirkman was really pure so I am surprised by the magnesium

stearate issue.

My doctor has said that my child may be responding negatively to the

lubricant materials used to stuff the capsules by machine. Can you tell

me do you know of any alternatives for these particular supplements

that don't use these lubricants? Is it possible to be sensitive to

magnesium stearate? Have you ever heard of an allergy to the silicon

dioxide or magnesium stearate? In the alternative, is it possible to be

allergic to plant cellulose capsules? Here are the Kirkman supps we are

taking.Chromium Selenium Magnesium , separate B-6 by itself

lactobacillus acidolfolus Nuthera multi vitamin with P5P. (My doctor

thinks my child is responding particularly bad to this multivitamin ),

Vitamin C z inc pro bio bold innulin free

the selenium also has in it L-leucine and L-selenomethionine. What are

these - are these lubricants also? I am under the impression that they

are not lubricants.

My child continues to react to something we are taking. Do any of your

children have sensitivity to magnesium stearate? what do you do about

it? what supps are you using? what are other sources of magnesium

sterate?

thank you so much. Rob's mom - it is hard to say how long we have

been on scd as we have been making so many mistakes.
