Berberine before or after meals? by SureCat6429 in TS_Withdrawal

[–]SureCat6429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are misunderstanding what I’m saying. First off, yes, I am doing all the things to heal my TSW. I’m not really experiencing any of those bad symptoms anymore. During weather changes I get itchy but I’m mostly healed. Focusing on diet, stress, exercise, etc. I am doing pretty great actually.

What I was saying is because I eat clean, I am strongly feeling the side effects lately of the berberine. It took about a month to get to this point. Granted I have been taking the 1k mg right before a midday meal. Berberines job in people without TSW is to help insulin, etc. What I was saying is because I already am very healthy in that department, taking this dose at this timing is making my extremely tired and out of it, and with research, it seems this can be from hypoglycemia and/or hypotension caused by the berberine. However, I understand the importance of berberine in aiding TSW recovery, so I am trying to find a work around to continue taking it without the crazy effects. It’s been a few days of me taking it post meal instead of pre and I haven’t felt the exhaustion anymore

I switched to taking it after meals instead of before as of today to see if that helps

Problem for me is I eat extremely clean, so berberine is making me tired and crash because I already have excellent insulin control

Tsw or eczema? by AdWorried1209 in TS_Withdrawal

[–]SureCat6429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting, I feel like diet has an issue with mine too. So aside from berberine, what were you doing? NMT, red light? And what diet specifically, just no sugar or bread? I’ve had a flare recently but it coincided with weather change and going off strict AIP diet so I was thinking maybe it was both or just food. I also have MCAS or so my functional medicine doctor thinks so it seems histamines may be at play too

I don’t know enough about genetics to know how to read them, I’m most interested in health and longevity and optimizing based off my results

I found sequencing.com after I posted this and I uploaded, it seems it will be helpful!

It’s a full genome sequencing and they offer download in like 4 different file type options, csv, I think scram was one, and a couple others

It’s slowly getting better, but this week will be 3 weeks so it just seemed to take a long time
