Guest guest Posted December 16, 2000 Report Share Posted December 16, 2000 Carol I also have trouble taking pills. When I was told by my doctor to take calcium with vitamin D, I hesitated not knowing how big the pill would be. So, I decided to try it in a softgel since that usually goes down pretty good and dissolves quite well. When it came in by mail, and I saw the size of it,I said no way will I attempt to take a chance on it not going down until I hit on an idea. Since it's a softgel full of a soft liquid, why not snip off the end and squeeze the contents on my toast or muffin and eat it as my first bite with a sip of coffee afterwards, which is what I'm doing and its working fine for me. I take two of these softgels. Just thought I'd pass this along. >From: " Carol Haggas " <chaggas@...> >Reply-achalasiaegroups ><achalasiaegroups> >Subject: multivitamins >Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 07:10:44 -0600 > >FYI - For those of us who have trouble taking multivitamins in pill form >(because they're all such huge horse pills), I've just found out about a >liquid multi-vitamin product from a friend.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 : What a clever way to get around a problem. Like you, I need to take calcium w/D and didn't want to take those big pills, which are so chalky. I discovered Viactiv, a soft chewable that comes in a delicious milk chocolate or caramel. They really are like eating candy! They're available in the same section of the grocery store as pill-form calcium. Have a happy holiday!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Keen, what is the multvitamin you are taking. I am looking for a good one. I went to Whole Foods and did a study on iodine. It appears that most multi's have iodine and I was concerned if this was coming from the same derivative as the iodine the nurse used on my 1/6. I am waiting right now to hear from my new doctor. She requested my records from Kaiser to see if the nurse used Iodine (benedyne (sp) inside of me when she performed the EMB (cervical biopsy). If she did, the doctor said I may be allergic to iodine. So I have been concerned not to use iodine in any foods and I also notice iodine in the vitamins I was checking out. But I am not sure if it is one and the same. I am sure my body needs the mineral " iodine " to make thyroid hormones which are necessary for maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of the body. Only 150mcg are required daily. -Peggy On Mon, 15 May 2006 07:53:00 +0200 " Keen Venables " <kvenables@...> writes: I'd say we're guessing with much more information than most doctors have. You know your body, you know how you feel. You sound just like my husband, doubting that you have candida. But if you take anti-fungals and have die-off reactions, then you have candida. Or take the spit test in the morning (spit into a glass of water first thing in the morning and see if you have long strings in your saliva). I can understand you are discouraged, I've been there before. And everyone has to try what works best for their own body - after lots of mistakes, I've found some things that seem to help me and my husband. First, probiotics. They are key. Then, a good anti-fungal, but rotated with others to stop the candida getting immune (pau d'arco/caprylic acid/grapefruit seed) Finally, the right supplements. We take alfalfa (to feed the good bacteria), a good multivitamin, magnesium, msm (for the leaky gut), milkthistle (to support the liver), peppermint (for IBS). You must find the supplements your own body needs. Don't believe what you read on websites where people are trying to sell you things. Do your own research and see how it makes you feel.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'm taking Pharmaton at the moment, but I'm moving onto Bestum when I'm finished the Pharmaton as it has probiotic strains in it as well. The web address is www.nutrilida.com My husband is very sensitive to iodine and we never touch the stuff. He has had allergic reactions where he could not breath! Iodine is a very difficult mineral, if it is in a chemical form, it is very easy to have problems with. You should be getting more than enough iodine (and in a better form) from vegetables if you are eating lots of leafy green ones. Both the above multivitamins have no iodine. After taking a multivitamin with iodine, that is when my husband had his worst attack. I also had a funny skin problem that cleared up when I stopped taking it, so I avoid iodine as well. Make sure you are not eating iodised salt, as well (we only use sea salt). My suggestion to you is to avoid iodine for a while and see if you feel better.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 WOW-you're husband has an allergic reaction to iodine? Is one of those reactions internal itching all over his body? MIne is getting better now. I have not done the candida diet in 3 weeks. I am basically off all probiotics and supplements. Like I said in previous posts, I am giving my body a rest. I did a colon cleanse for one week with psyllum husks capsules and bentonite followed by capryll acid pills. It " seemed " to clean me out I guess. But I was gaining weight. So in the past three days my itching has subsided and I am trying to enjoy this time of peace and fulfillment. My period started which in menopause I was surprised because my periods have been weird. I didn't have one for 8 mos. and wham.... off and on like every other month flowing like the Mississippi. My peroid must be cleansing me or possibly flushing all the iodine the nurse left inside of me. Thanks for your insight. I have been using sea salt for 3 mos. now. -Peggy On Tue, 16 May 2006 07:51:23 +0200 " Keen Venables " <kvenables@...> writes: I'm taking Pharmaton at the moment, but I'm moving onto Bestum when I'm finished the Pharmaton as it has probiotic strains in it as well.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 No, my husband's reaction is much worse, he can't breathe when he has too much iodine. And a colleague of mine ended up in hospital with hallucinations, fever, swelling from too much iodine. There are many people that have a problem with it, I'm surprised that it is used to liberally. I would certainly not give my body a break, as you are probably giving the candida a (lucky) break. But it's your body, you have to see how you feel. I've been on the candida diet for 7 months now, very strictly (there are many things on the candida diet we can't eat due to leaky gut and IBS). I've not cheated once so far, it isn't worth it to me to feel ill. Keen Re: Candex HI again, In response to Peggy-- isn't the fact that we have to keep struggling in the nature of the beast?

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 The danger of taking iron is not in the fact that a person is on treatment , the danger comes from having hep c and taking it . The liver has a hard time processing iron because of impaired liver functions so the excess iron will float around in the blood and deposit itself in the heart, kidneys and also the tissue of the liver causing further damage. multivitamins I'm 10 months post-tx, and my family doctor recommended I take a multivitamin due to low magnesium and low-normal iron.

I'd try eating more iron containing foods with vit c with it first to see if that would raise it...

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi Lizzie, I have been taking that multivitamin for about 1 year now and like it. My GP gave it to me. I think it is designed primarily for chronic fatigue patients. Some people really dislike the taste but I don't mind it. Also people complain of feeling sick afterwards. If this happens to you, you should half the dose for a while to get used to it. I think it has good high levels of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is certainly easier than taking lots of pills individually. It comes it a 1 month long supply tub which if you travel can be a bit awkward. So, I would recommend getting some of the travel packs as well. bye, paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hiya I was just thinking what an excellent idea, but then for me with Hashis and having to still take my SSRi antidepressant 3 things jumped out at me. L-tryptophan not allowed to take that as it is a seratonin boost and have to watch out for seratonin syndrom . Iodine, not good for autoimmune diseases, Soy stuff in added ingredients are goitregens, probably very small amounts though. So many ingredients I don't understand the effects of too, if something made me feel unwell I would have wasted quite a lot of money and not known which ingredient was the culprit, but if you can afford it and don't have my problems I would go for it, it looks a very potent mix . lotsa luv Dawnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Dear Dawn Having looked at the reports Sheila asked for, it would be worth checking all your tablets for the presence of bromide.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Dear Sheila You may need to add a warning on the presence of Bromide in any other medications taken by patients on this board. They cobble together these other tablets with hydrobromic acid to make them soluble in water ~ as the 'bromide' salt. As you recall from many years back on the About forum? bromide is a no-no, for the same reason that iodide is a no-no. NIS ~ Sodium iodide symporter will also carry bromide into the thyroid gland, which may explain most of the use of 'bromide' to settle people with so-say psychosis (could also explain why the bromide salts are used as anti-epileptics ~ ie anti-arrhythmics). In other words, they were only treating the symptoms of either Graves' or hyperthyroidism/thyrotoxicosis. On could imagine that the little booklet on Magnesium (on Thyroid History site) would cover many of the uses of the halogen salts (Halmagon). best wishes Bob > > > Hi Dawn > > If you ahve Hashimoto's disease, you should be checking all your medication and supplements for iodine. You should not take anything with iodine in. I have just been looking at studies (thank you Bob). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
