Hello, I started taking modifilan which contains algin - it is recommended that you take 3 - 5 tablets sometimes more a day. However, I thought I would go slow so I only took one the first two days and then had two for the next two days and whoaaa!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> very very bad stomach ache!!! I was wondering if it was because algin is high fibre - I know I don't have a problem with ulcers - I have been tested for this . Although, I do have a problem with candida/IBS - maybe this was what caused it, I have since stopped the modifilan and the stomach ache went although it took a few days. I do take probiotics but then heard that wasn't good if you had a problem with mercury either. Maybe will try in a few weeks again but at just one a day I seemed to tolerate that and then maybe up it - slowly.

By the way I had my gallbladder removed 5 years ago, it was after this that the yeast/IBS problems kicked off. I have went from having a cast iron stomach to having lots of problems with it, I don't know if not having a gallbladder would cause me to not tolerate things like algin, or that my stomach is just much more sensitive now in general? I also take Aloe Vera Juice which sometimes seems to help, but was dissapointed that I had to stop the modifilan . Would not having a gallbladder make it more of a problem to get rid of mercury, or should that not make a difference? Any ideas anyone, thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
