    Vitamin K2 MK4 vs MK7?

    Darn, that's a shame :-( MK4 is a lot cheaper... I guess that's why.

    Periods and Hormones (men you've been warned lol)

    I've never been sure how well a DSer absorbs the pill and I imagine that the usual YMMV probably applies here, so I got a Mirena coil and don't have to put up with periods, remembering to take stuff or worrying about what I do or don't absorb.

    Vitamin K2 MK4 vs MK7?

    I was wondering why we're meant to favor K2 MK7 over MK4 (Vitalady favors MK7, but I never found out why). I've read a few normie discussions and wonder if the implications are any different for us. TIA.

    vitamin confusion

    I'd definitely start with Vitalady, but I do know that shipping and customs costs do suck, surprisingly as badly in Canada as in the UK. You can probably get a lot of stuff from somewhere like Amazon once you know what you're doing. I started with her pre-packaged vites. Once you've had your...

    Use of Flagyl

    You can get a 7-10 day course. It's been a couple of months since I took flagyl and I'm still doing well.

    Panni, brachioplasty and hernia repair

    Yes I get "panic ilex to my" on my phone and I can't figure out how stop it from doing that!! :-)

    Panni, brachioplasty and hernia repair

    It's the removal of the apron of skin on the stomach rather like a mini tummy tuck. My phone won't let me type the full word.

    Should we add phosphorous for calcium absorption?

    Thanks @kirstabelle

    Looking for Ferritin on labs

    BTW you might want to try Proferrin if you don't succeed getting infusions. It's expensive and in the UK it's scary expensive, so I've not tried it, but people seem to do well with it, plus I think it's less awkward as to what food you can have it with as opposed to other iron (ie no dairy or...

    Looking for Ferritin on labs

    @Terri mine was 46 at its lowest and I got back to within range on oral iron (it took me 18 months). I got there by doing 420mg of ferrous furmarate along with 250mg of vit C (I still have 1,000mg vit C with my lunch time bundle of vits too). Try upping yours, it's worth doing even if you end...

    Looking for Ferritin on labs

    What iron pills do you take and at what dosage? I thought I was headed for infusions, but I finally got there with oral iron after 18 months.

    RIP Dr. Aceves

    Very sad. It so often seems to be with Cessnas too.

    Should we add phosphorous for calcium absorption?

    Good thinking I'll request it when I next get my labs done. Thanks.

    Should we add phosphorous for calcium absorption?

    I stumbled across this review on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Weleda-Phosphorus-30c-125-Tablets/product-reviews/B0013G8GQU/ref=dpx_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1 which looks well written, but can't find anything in my Googling to back it up. Most articles say that 'normal' people don't need...

    The DS will cause constant diarrhea?

    I found that having lots of iron and calcium supplements really firmed things up for me. I take 500mg calcium citrate 8 times a day and I have to use a stool softener in order to go.

    Red Faced - And a $500 lighter wallet... (Oh, Niacin)

    Sorry about your hassles with your colleague - I'm glad you did well despite him. Thanks for the warning re niacin even though I don't plan on overdosing, it's good to know just in case. :-)

    Another bathroom post....I know

    Flagyl halted my piles from getting any worse and I'm down to pooping once or occasionally twice a day. Hope you feel better soon.

    Related to iron?

    Hmm... I'm thinking, if you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find her... maybe you can holler for @MajorMom OK, even if this one isn't up Gina's street, you gotta admit the quote was pretty funny... it made me smile at least!! :p [that was a reference to the A Team...

    Is this an emergency? (poop)

    I get black poo, I think it's due to taking iron.
