Weird Effects????

[hotttsauce]

Some stuff sometimes has some weird effects. Green Tea makes my nose run after taking it or drinking it. ALOT, but only for about a half hour! Anyone else ever have something like that or any other effects from supp's? Just curious.

is it the heat from the tea that helps clear up your nostrils as in chicken soup?

 

[hotttsauce]

Nope, just the pills or if I drink it in a cold beverage. Never had it hot. Odd I know. Wondered if anyone else had anything like that. Not a terrible side effect but annoying for a short period.

Just wondered what everyone else dealt with when taking supps.

Maybe you have an allergy to something in the tea causing an increase in histamine production (snot)? Has it happened with more than one brand? Green tea is widely used to prevent or help with exactly what is happening to you.

You're right though. That's weird! LOL

alcohol makes me red like a lobster. So does niacin...

I had an "incident" with the niacin. I almost went to the ER. I thought I was dying for sure. Beet red, prickly all over, hot flashes. Harmless but definitely not comfortable. I don't even want to say how much I took.

Thank goodness for JT. Of course, he just laughed at my plight.

How much was it? When I was a young teen I bought these monster 200mg pills of Niacin and popped 4 of them. My ass was on fire.

Two big 600mg tabs. My heart was palpitating. I took JT's advice and didn't bother with the flush-free kind I just got the plain jane niacin and it kicked my ass. I would have burst into flames had you lit a match near me.

I called the hospital and finally talked to an intern and she said to just drink lots of water and that it would eventually pass. It did pass after about 30 minutes...

JT got a good laugh out of it I'm sure.

I wonder if it lowered my cholesterol??? LOL!!!

I know this is O/T... but i thought flush-free was just as good ... is regular niacin better (with regards to lipid profile)? and if so, how much should one take (i usually take in 1500 mg of the flush free kind split up 3 times per day)?

I'm really not sure on this. Maybe someone can answer this for you.

Ya, yeast, eggs, and artificial sweeteners for me, even stevia. I get a pressure in my chest and throat, feels like someone is standing on my chest. Sucks cause I can't use protein powder or LBA's. I e-mailed EFX about possibly in the future coming out with an unsweetend unflavored LBA with no sucrolose and they said they would look into it. I always thought that people who were allergic to stuff were just complainers, now I know first hand how bad it is.

I have read articles stating that Flush Free wasn't as effective, and my doctor even made the comment to me when I asked him about it. He said to get the regular stuff, but that I would have to slowly build my dose up because of the flushing side effects. he also said most people used it at night before bed so they were asleep and not uncomfortable.

But the articles were not based on any study, and my doctor didn't offer me any explanation as to why.

I think I remember "The Mackster" (Littlemack) has some experience with this noted in a post some time back.
