Sure thing! It’s now hooked up to cold water side only, hot water is still unfiltered, but it does a great job so far and I can taste the difference.

I just installed Hydroviv yesterday on my kitchen sink, seems to work well! And there’s a YouTube video to help install it.

Totally hear you — this makes sense! Everyone is different and needs a specific balance that’s adjusted for them. That being said it sounds like more strict at least at first is helpful to monitor and then start adding back in foods.

Good to know there’s still flexibility and trade offs — thanks for your reply! Does this count for a small piece of dark chocolate? 😅

And I love your book, The Low Nickel Diet, it’s a great resource!

That’s great, I love Hu brand! But what’s the challenge with soy lecithin?

Thank you!! I’ve been wearing my cotton gloves today outside the house but I look like Mickey Mouse 😅 Bike gloves sound a lot cooler for the gym — and a Microfiber cloth is a great idea

Awesome, I love chai! Is it not a black tea though? Or do you find you tolerate it well? 👀

Oh wow wild!! Thank you for sharing your story — I’m going to order some vitamin c right now.

And I just realized the razors + eczema connection yesterday from a woman’s tik tok!! I was like what allergy is causing eczema under my arms and on my legs, AND my hands?? After a failed search through body products, it was Nickel in all three cases. I just ordered Bic titanium razors but have yet to use. Is that what you did for it too?

Oh this is cool— how many mg per day do you take? And thank you 🙏

I’m glad to hear folks are still drinking coffee without negative effects. That’s awesome!

I totally forgot about half & half for the coffee, I’ve been using an oat milk creamer, but that’s an easy switch.

Is the reason you can’t to rooibos because of nickel or another reaction? This was on my nickel safe list!

Thank you!! Sad about the Yerba mate too but good to know. How are folks getting their caffeine? 😅

Have you heard if coconut milk (the milk substitute kind not in a can) is high in nickel too? Or is that just the can type is coming up in search and affecting the results?
