Taking it on a full stomach can be very helpful, MJ. Luckily, I didn't experience those side effects, though they're not unusual at the beginning.
I had all those symptoms when I started but now I get nausea sometimes and ringing in the ears but it’s not as bad as it was before
Thank you RobertBurreson! I will try this. I washed some walnuts this morning and will keep these on hand.
Taking pally there in an empty stomach is rough! Most medication, actually, unless specificly stated otherwise is a whole different beast as well.
Take your meds with food in your stomach if you can.
I try to keep a small peanut butter jars worth of ground nuts on hand. Grabbing a small spoonful before you take meds can introduce new fats into your stomach, helps your body absorb better all around! This is especially true if the needs your taking happens to be a tincture, what doesn't get absorbed under your tongue will have a much easier time binding in your liver. Good luck!
