    Hey ,

    Gastromend-HP is a supplement I often recommend for example with H Pylori. It has a nice blend of gut healing nutrients as well. Can you recall how this supplement felt for you? There is some vitamin C in it, which makes it slightly acidic.

    Good evening Daniel,

    It irritated my stomach. Also, felt slight heart burn.

    It could be the ascorbic acid or even zinc l carnosine. I know I can’t tolerate zinc l carnosine on it’s own and have to take it with food.

    ,

    I can imagine that the vitamin C could cause the irritation and the heartburn. If you aren’t sure if this supplement is something for you right now, you could also experiment by buying 500 mg of vitamin C and see how that works for you.

    If it causes problems, Gastromend is probably not for you.

    Good evening Daniel,

    As gastromend mentions to have four capsules daily. Could I have 4 mastic gums daily as I have allergy research group mastic gum capsules?

    Hey ,

    The upper tolerable intake of mastic gum isn’t well studied. We do know it is well tolerated. Dosages used in most research are between 1 and 3 grams and in these ranges benefits have been found.

    Some people do get some reactions from it (headaches, upset stomach and dizziness for example) so it would be wise to go slow and easy here. You can try a new dosage 2-3 weeks and see how you react.

    But if you don’t experience differences, you probably or going over the most effective dosage for you and higher dosages won’t help you!

    Sound advise buddy. Thank you.

    FYI. I had my video capsule endoscopy last week. Next Tuesday, I will be undergoing a 96 hours bravo test. As of today, I have been asked to stop femotidine and and will have to until 19th May. This is a tough test.
