How about taking Chlorella?

[Wenbev]

I'm out guys. I've been regurgitating on/off for the last hour and there seems to be no end in sight due to the nausea. There is nothing left in my stomach, is there anything I can do to stop it??

Oh no! Can you drop your dosage down to what you were taking before the nausea? There have been cases of people being allergic, but not after you've taken it for a while...

 

[KiWiStyle]

For those having nausea/vomiting issues with chlorella are you taking a good probiotic? Chlorella is a very powerful prebiotic and if you don't have a good amount of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract to ferment it, it may cause issues. Trying a probiotic like Align is worth a shot. My gastroenterologist got my system and health back on tract with that probiotic.

I use to take probiotics but stopped because, I know I might revisit it one day soon. Thanks.

I can but I'm just so scared of feeling like this again. I read that if vomiting occurs, a doctor should be seen. I'm not going to the doctor, I'll just wait it out my system and hopefully by the morning this nightmare will be over.

No problem and I definitely hope you feel better soon!

TrulyBlessed Sorry we didn't welcome you to the thread! Howdy! welcome to our chlorella !

How do you guys determine how much you're suppose to take? My bottle recommends a pill 3 times a day which would only add up to 1.5grams(I think)....and another bottle said 2 pills 3 times a day and even that is only 3 grams(I think).

 

[KiWiStyle]

I'm feeling 95 percent better this morning ladies. I think if I didn't force myself to eat and drink I might not feel better right now. Thanks ladies for your well wishes.

Vitacost is having a BOGO half off on vitacost yaeyama chlorella capsules. There may be other types of chlorella discounts as well but I use this brand for my capsules.

Nix08 I think this is very personal to you and what your body needs and/or can handle. I saw such a positive impact on my health and the continuing detox, the more grams I took that I believe my body needs quite a bit. I believe for me, when my body completely stops detoxing, ie. Acne is completely gone, that's the amount I will hold steady at. I started out with the recommended dose on my capsules (2g) and have steadily increased to 14-16g a day. This amount feels right for me right now.

Hey Nix08 I agree with Kilacurlz. Just listen to your body. I've read websites that simply say if your #2s aren't green you aren't taking enough. Everyone is different, we all turned green within different time frames since taking chlorella.
Some people here took very small doses and turned green within days. I slowly increased my dose and I think it took me almost two weeks! Also I have noticed for me when I was taking 12g I was feeling awesome and then I upped to 14g to see if there was a difference and there was.
Do your own research and add or decrease as you see fit. You cannot 'overdose' as its a whole food hth

 

[Nix08]

Ok thanks ladies I'll keep an eye out and increase slowly

Sorry ladies - I have been a bit busy yesterday and today so I missed this dialog on KiWiStyle.
KiWiStyle Gingerroot is EXCELLENT for nausea/vomiting. I drink ginger root tea using fresh gingerroot but I also have the capsules, so in case of emergency I always have some on hand.
If memory serves me correctly, you are taking the powder. I experience a gaggin sensation at times when I take the powder as well.
Other (early posters) in this thread and other threads have experienced nausea and vomiting when taking chlorella. You may want to consider doing a combination dosage (capsules and pills). Also, please be sure you are taking a brand of chlorella which states that it is "broken cell wall". "Broken cell wall" chlorella is what makes the supplement "digestible".
You have to increase gradually - and know your products.
The goal is to feel better and reap all of the good benefits. Not make ourselves ill or uncomfortable.

Yes I was taking the source naturals powder so I know It's not that. Ginger root would have come in very handy but I didn't want to go out to the store, I did drink some tea with some other good stuff in it for nausea and it just came right back up. Thanks for your suggestions . You guys ever watch The Shark Tank? I'm out, lol...I can't handle that type of discomfort.

I started Sun Chlorella on Saturday. I went green on Sunday.

 

[Kiowa]

I spent my future kids college education on a vitacost order...
anyway, I think i am going through some major detox, I also started back dry brushing my skin and having Epsom salt/ACV baths after my workouts....I am feeling great though,and able to focus more.. I forget I was taking this for hair growth...

 

[Wenbev]

KiWiStyle so sorry to see you go, I understand though

Kiowa LOL @ future kid. Isn't it funny most of us started on this for hair growth and its completely turned around. I personally would see the hair growth as an bonus now, not necessity.

 

[Wenbev]

LivingInPeace welcome aboard! And that was fast! Need some deets!

 

[ilong]

KiWiStyle- we certainly do not want to see you leave us but it is certainly understandable. "Everything is not for Everybody".

Kiowa - kids won't be able to go to college but Mom will be beautiful and healthy, full of energy, swanging that long hair. I think that is totally understandable - (JUST KIDDIN')
The benefits I've experienced already have made me extremely happy. I will be OVER THE TOP when I see a tremendous hair growth spurt. And I have this gut feeling that I will.

LivingInPeace - to the thread. I don't believe anyone else is taking Sun Chlorella which is supposedly a higher level/quality chlorella.
Green in one Day!!! That may be a record. Please keep us posted on your journey - I am considering purchasing Sun Chlorella - so having your review and opinion will help me decide.

I'll be back later with my review and details. I think I went green quickly because I've been really been trying to eat cleaner these past few months.

Hey ladies!!!!! (ilong)

I know you rang me quite a few days ago and I am sorry that I didn't respond. for some strange reason, my notifications are not working.

Anyhoo, I am taking this for hair growth, but I am also giving this to my kids as well. My 6 yo has been having the worst stomach issues that I have ever seen anyone have. This is has been going on for 3 years. With all the tests and such done by bunches of doctors, mommy has been able to fix it. She has been taking 1.4 g for a little over a month.

When we started this, I decided not to give her the medicine that the specialist gave her bc I wanted to see if it worked. I did keep it on hand, just in case we had a serious problem and needed it. I am elated to say that she has not taken any of the rx meds. She asks for her green medicine everyday to make sure she takes it. She has had NO tummy issues at all.

This will be a KEEPER round these parts, lol!!!!

@ilong :swordfigh
I ain't playing...Even if I end up turning as green as the Incredible Hulk, I'm determined to walk around this summer with toned abs,and toss my long hair back and forth.. I don't plan on having any kids, ever, my two twin nieces stay with me every summer holiday, and that as much child rearing as I can deal with....
I saw the Sun brand at WholeFoods, but it just burns my grits when I have to buy supplements from them....
I ordered Jarrow Yaeyama Powder from VC so I will be stalking the postman daily until I get my package, I doubled my current dosage to use up the brand I have now......it will be interesting to see if there is a big difference in brands..
I start a new gig next week, so can't be McFartyPoo...any ideas on how to cut down on gas, please let me know..
I threw some Flax Seed Oil in my non-green lunch smoothie at lunch...

The fartiness should stop soon, it usually quits within a week or two. Maybe take it in the afternoon instead of the morning so the gassiness is more in the late afternoon/evening? I love flax seed oil! I may try adding it to a smoothie but the flavor is a bit strong. I usually just take two spoonfuls and and chase it with a bit of juice. Lol

I'm taking Sun Chlorella tablets as of 4/6/2013. They are 200mg each. I have been taking fifteen tablets a day. I take them all at once. I'll increase my dosage on Sat. 4/13. I haven't had any nausea or side effects that I've noticed. I take them after I eat. I'm hoping to get some hair growth out of this experiment.

 

[ilong]

Hi ladies, not ignoring you but I am experiencing a major detox again. Earlier today my BM's were significant and frequent. I am quite sure that I know what triggered this detox.
For dinner, I had salmon croquettes from a Soul Food Bistro on Tuesday and the leftovers yesterday. For lunch yesterday, I had white albacore tuna (from a can). Today I had chicken salad (which the restaurant probably used canned chicken).
I believe these canned meats triggered the detox and my body is fighting to rid itsel of these toxins.
Almost EVERYTHING hurts as it did when I first detoxed in January. My head, ears, neck, fingers, back, stomach, chest, knees, legs, ankles all hurt. It is the same feeling I had in January. Just a few minutes ago I had a metal taste in my mouth.

So Ladies, watch what foods you intake, especially any seafoods and take note if you feel ill after you consume certain foods. We may think it's the supplements but it could be the supplements trying to do their job - detox and cleanse you.

Hopefully I will feel better in a day or two and will check back in. Keep those updates coming.

P.S. Good thing I was able to order my 5 bottles of spirulina and 3 bottles of chlorella before I started feeling "really bad" today.

Good night everyone.

ilong feel better love, you'll get through

 

[Kilacurlz]

ilong feel better soon. I've experienced detox each timr I eat something processed so I know what you mean. I love that this stuff can "tell" you when you're on the wrong track.

Kiowa let us know how you like the jarrow yaeyama powder. I take 12g of it everyday and so far so good.

 

[Kilacurlz]

Lovingmywaves12 I don't know if you saw my earlier post about chlorella putting my ulcerative colitis in remission but I have no stomach or colon issues since the week I began taking chl 4 months ago. This is after months of severe symptoms. I don't know how or why it works but it does and it does something meds other than steroids can't do. Each day I'm free of colon inflammation the less chance I have of developing colon cancer. That's enough reason to take this for life!

Update on dad... I mentioned recently my dad wanted to try chl. Well he asked his doc and she gave him the green light! I'm surprised by this since she's an MD not DO...Anyway, she just told him to watch his sugar levels for any changes. Now I can hopefully update you guys on me AND him.

 

[Wenbev]

Kilacurlz, that is really great news about your dad! I can't wait to hear about his results. And I'm really happy about the success you've had so far with chl. I want to see if I can get my mom on it in the near future.
