I used to take 2 a day for years. But my ferritin was too high, So a few years ago, we went to one a day. Now I've been on one every other day for the last year or so. I'm having my twice yearly blood done in a few weeks so we'll see if it's still the right dose.

Now it seems like when I drink my protein shakes I absorb 100% of it, when I'm eating meats and protein, it slows my digestion and I no longer have loose poops. The problem is I'm almost feeling constipated and even though I drink heavy cream and take butter and use olive oil, nothing is providing the same evacuation as before I had the medicine. Sugar just gives me painful gas.
I tried to come off the med a couple times but I absolutely can't stand the pain.
Anyone have any experience with this drug? I'd really love to talk to a doctor about the scientific parts of it, but I had my surgery with Laparoscopic Associates in San Jose and they are closed now. I don't' know who to contact.
I appreciate any help or advice!

It's true that collagen protein differs from whey in its amino acid profile, so it doesn't provide the same complete set of essential amino acids, which can make it seem "less protein" per gram in terms of muscle building. However, Collagen is still excellent for skin, joints, and connective tissue support. Many people combine it with other protein sources to get both fullness and the targeted benefits collagen offers.

Nutrition to me is half the battle. After u find an equilibrium on calories, get steps in every day.

Nutrition to me is half the battle. After u find an equilibrium on calories, get steps in every day. You can go easy but push yourself over time. I find daily activity to be immensely important.
Do you know how many carbs you're eating per day?

I have never heard of it but if it works for you, that is great.
