I don't think you had an allergic reaction I think you were thrown into a major
detox. You might want to drink lots of lemon water and reduce the capsules to
two a day until your body detoxes.

Here's the short version:
I took the GX Assist (3 capsules) for my first time last night,
followed immediately by dinner. About half an hour after dinner, I
had a pretty bad allergic reaction-throat swelling, eyes swelling,
hives, and itching EVERYWHERE.
Here's the long version:
I am allergic to halibut. I am gluten intolerant, but can handle it
in small doses. I have been drinking lots of water with lemon, and at
times it helps the frequent headaches I have, but lately it has not
helped. I decided to start the GX Assist to help with what I suspect
to be Candida issues.
My dinner was a canned New England Clam Chowder. I did add maybe 5
saltines to the chowder for texture. (Didn't have any gluten free on
hand). I drank 3 cups of lipton tea throughout the day (which is a
lot for me, but it was helping my headaches). Within half an hour of
eating dinner, I noticed an itching to my throat, then realized I was
itching all over. I recognized this early as an allergic reaction, and
took two Bendryl. The itching was HORRIBLE, and continued for about
an hour. At that point, on the advice of a friend who is a nurse, I
took two more Bendryl, and took a bath with oatmeal to try to stop the
itching. It didn't work. At about 1.5 hours after I had eaten, my
body did an early dumping (watery, loose bowels) and then I threw up.
I immediately felt better, the swelling had gone down, and the itching
had stopped.
Now, I know I could be allergic to clams, because this reaction is
similar to what I have with halibut. However, this was much worse
than any reaction I've had to halibut, and I caught it earlier than I
ever have. Is it possible that the GX assist made the allergic
reaction more pronounced? Is there any reason I shouldn't continue
with the GX assist? I was thinking I would back off to 1 capsule a
day instead of 3, just to be careful. Any information would be
helpful!!!
Thanks!
