My son gets red ears and can tolerate very little when he eats certain foods

like wheat. He reacts explosively towards his sister etc. He ate off plan for

24 hours or so during a sleep over birthday party. Last night, his ears were

flaming red and he was melting down...I reminded him of the transgressions and

he agreed to a 3 gram vitamin c drink, 100 mg niacin and an epsom salt

bath...the niacin didn't give him a flush and I was surprised. He's 140 lbs.

Could the dose have been to small? I was expecting a flush, thinking it'd help

him detox and nothing. Any comments? Any other suggestions for these kinds of

occasions? Thnks, helen in Ontario

==>If he is not used to 3 grams of vitamin C at a time he may have

loose stools this morning. Sometimes there is no flush from the

niacin, and that's okay too. No, it wasn't too small of a dose.

Usually you give 50 mg at a time. For some people the flush can be

quite severe at 100 mg, if it happens.

+++Hi Donna,

Getting flushes depends upon many body processes and other nutrients, and what

your body can do, or needs to do, at any given time.

You need to take it with vitamin B complex as well as other supplements and

foods as recommended, because all of the nutrients work together.
