how long is it ok to go like this? I mean I'm always a lil dehydrated but I keep

thinking it's creeping up my body and my hubby's aunt has heart issues due to

low potassium (already have an irregular heartbeat so I was getting scared as it

crept up the body so to speak

> thanks

you are not going to get heart issues from 10 days of D.

I'd soak a lot in epsom salt baths - which will also give you magnesium.

IF eggs have never been a trigger for you, they almost certainly are not

causing this now. It's probably microbial, despite lack of results from blood

test. Does doc still think you should do antibiotics?

How about the pepto bismal? Why did your doc say not to take it previously?

thanks Mara - she said in the past not to take it but I may shoot an email and

ask again think she's gone already- the antibiotic is probably still there and

waiting- doc wanted GI docs opinion but i never called as I got that solid BM!!

duh!! and now he's out till mon-

did a bath and took 2 mag 1 potassium and e-ltye - just going to keep trying to

rehydrate - if it's microbial can I fight it without help???
