I was in a health food store last week and I saw a product called Hair Health extra thick hair shake. It contains just about all of the vitamins in most hair vitamins, amino acids and brewer's yeast. Since I don't take any hair vitamins, I thought this would be a nice supplement, (plus it was chocolate /images/graemlins/wink.gif) I am at work now but when I get home I will post all of the nutritional information. Anyway I bought this stuff a week ago today and tried it as soon as I got home. I was running around all day that day so I think I had breakfast, plus that shake and nothing else. I felt sick that night. The next day I still felt sick so I skipped breakfast but I had my shake and a small lunch plus we went out to Sbarro's for dinner, (though I was too sick to finish my food). On Tuesday I could barely get out of bed. I had this sharp cramping pain in my side plus I was very nauseaous. Looking back , I honestly don't know what stopped me from going to the emergency room then. I spent most of Tuesday in bed, (with my laptop /images/graemlins/grin.gif) sipping on soup and nibbling on crackers. On Wednesday the pain had subsided a little but that night after I had my shake it worsened. I stayed up all night crying in pain. Thursday was just as bad plus I got the most excrutiating migraine. On Friday, I asked a friend of mine in the emergency room to take my temp and blood pressure and draw a little blood. I also ended up getting an X-ray and a sonogram. I was thinking something big like a tumor or some kind of an ulcer. I had (maybe) a piece of bread that day and gulped it down with my shake. That night I was throwing up so much that I was tasting bile!
To make an extremely long story short, I found out yesterday that it was the shake that was making me sick. I ruled out everything else. I didn't drink any of the shake yesterday and I feel fine now. I guess I am posting this as a warning just in case anyone runs across this brand of shake. I saved it at home in case my labs come back abnormal. I am definitely going to write a letter to the company. I also told the store that sells it that it made me sick. The shake is called Hair Health Extra Thick Hair Shake. It has a picture of a black woman with long shiny black hair on the container, (one of the main reasons I bought it). The label is purple and blue. I bought it in chocolate but it also comes in French Vanilla, Strawberry and Banana. Until I find out why I got sick they are all on the bad list. I will update you all when I get my lab results back.
