Hippygirl, what is your dosage? of the Fish oil? Do you think lowering it a little would help?

Good Job on the Coconut oil. No reactions? You could go to 2 now. Hold on 2 for a little bit. If everything is fine, you can go to 3. Then if you notice an upset...slightly lower it.

Tooter....what's the most that you ever have in one day? A batch (4 T)?

[hippiegirl]

Had to check - 3000mg (3 capsules, 1000mg each).

I haven't had any side effects - maybe a little heat at first - but that's fine with me, obviously!

Should I do 1tsp one more day, or do you think it would be ok to move up tomorrow?

Thanks again for all the help!

That's up to you. I would. The only side effects I have ever had is like "Oops, just a little too much there". Like your stomach gets a little icky. I then adjust to it by making sure I don't have any more for the day and doing lower the next day.

Truly some days you need more and some days you need less.

It sounds like you didn't have any reaction, so it's safe to do another one today. If you want to.

Seriously....I'm not only asking for me, but also, for everyone that is new to the stuff. How much do you slowly move up to?

Maybe try 2000 mg/day of the fish oil?

I have eaten the bark and then even had my 3 cups of tea with the coconut oil in it. That's alot of coconut oil. I never measured it.

If people start out on one and they are fine...I don't think 2 is going to be a big deal.

3? Might be right away. I would hold on 2 for a couple of days and then start on 3 or more.

If there is no reaction, I would assume you are fine and the only reaction you would have would be getting too much oil (where you might feel a little icky at your stomach).

Not everyone has a bad reaction to Coconut oil.

I think (thinking back) When I started and got to the point of 4 or more...I kinda felt flu like symptoms in my stomach. I believe it was the die off of yeast in my intestines (I had forgotten this). I just adjusted by going down the next day and no problem. (it didn't last long).

I can eat all the coconut oil I want now. The key is WANT. Too much just would make me feel icky. It doesn't last long, but it's my bodies way of saying "Ok, that's enough".

So, the point for me goes past taking care of my appetite and makes me feel just a little icky.

There is no SET point that is the same for everyone. That's something we each have to find out.


So, I don't have any set answers for you. I'm sorry if that didn't help.

How much do I have now? I have my 3 cups of tea a day with it in it, almost every day. Then there are days that I add in the bark to and enjoy it.

Then I get tired of the bark and just stick with my Tea and coconut oil.

There might be a few days where I am really busy and/or totally forget to drink the tea. Then I get back at it.

Did that help at all? Gosh, I sound like a ranting airhead!!
