Part 2: Additional troubleshooting

• If you experience diarrhea: the solution is to cut back on your dosage to 1/2 of what you are currently taking, and after a couple of weeks, slowly increase back to a full dose. Sometimes the body may not be used to such concentrated nutrition and has to adjust.
• If you experience constipation: increase magnesium with additional products that include  Cal Toddy or Osteo Mag.
• If you have severe digestive issues: with digestive issues and sensitivity issues, Dr. Wallach recommends starting with a half dose of the BTT or Classic or Osteo-FX.  Build up slowly over several weeks to the correct dose for body weight. You can also add digestion specific add-on products like Ultimate Digestive Enzymes and/or Root Beer Belly digestive packets.
• If you feel tired after taking the products: this is many times a sign your body is having trouble processing the nutrients and delivering energy to the cells. Many times this is an indicator of a blood sugar issue and the need for additional chromium and vanadium, which can be found in the product Sweet-Eze.
• If you have allergies: the first step is cleaning up the diet by eliminating The 12 Bad Foods. It is also important to adopt a gluten-free, oat free, low carbohydrate, and non-high-fiber diet for those who have serious absorption issues. Carbohydrates and sugars can feed the bad bacteria that may exist in the intestinal tract.
• If you have citrus allergies: according to Dr. Wallach, many times this is linked to thin cell membranes from an essential fatty acid deficiency.  He recommends 6 -12 EFA’s a day based on budget.  A solution is the BTT Tablets accompanied by the Ultimate Mineral Capsules.
• Skin Allergies: In addition to digestive support, Dr. Wallach recommends  Cell Shield RTQ,  Selenium, and Imortalium.
• Seasonal Allergies: The basics are still digestion, with the addition of  Cell Shield RTQ,  and Imortalium, as both these products contain herbs renowned for their antihistamine support properties.
• Signs of Food Allergies: Signs can include sudden blood pressure spikes after eating or drinking and dark circles under the eyes. Signs of severe food allergies can include problems breathing and extreme inflammation.
• Signs of Milk/Dairy Allergies: commons signs include chronic ear infections, swelling, and breathing issues.
