This really pisses me off because Malic Acid was supposed to stop this from happening.
The problem started over Christmas with sugar intolerance. Though I did not use energy drinks, I did indulge in Coke several times and got a strong negative reaction. Was it the caffeine or the sugar? A bad reaction to caffeine free Ginger Ale confirmed that it was the latter. Probiotics did help for a while but it wasn't enough. Sugars certainly are not good for me but I should not react THAT badly to it.
On a hunch, I tried Calcium in order to correct a suspected low Cal/Mag ratio. I developed an insatiable need (6 pills) that lasted about a week. Also, I had no more issues with sugar. YES! On January 9th, when swimming in Panama City, I accidentally missed my dose and didn't feel that bad. I figured that I could reduce the dose. WRONG. I flipped from an insatiable need to complete intolerance. Nothing new for me!
I tried giving it rest for a few days and going back to it at a lower dose. I didn't have an immediate reaction but it got ugly within the hour. Tried to run and had to quit after a half mile in 5:37. Today was incrementally better with a 10:24 Mile. Most probably, I have to stop it until further notice. There is a chance that another form of Cal will be tolerated and I am willing to try it.
WILL THIS EVER END?
