Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
How on earth do you guys take this? What am I doing wrong? Even 1/2 tsp in a BIG cup of water is like drinking a thick dirty sludge. There is no way on earth my kids would ever be able to drink it.

Apple juice, apple sauce. Cuppycake has SPD and won't take it. I don't mind chalky texture

When I tried it before, I put it in my coffee. This time, I just mix a bit with a few ounces of juice and chug it down. For my kids, I do the same, but we're on a really small dose right now - 1/4 tsp. They don't seem to mind . . . probably bc i'm giving them straight juice instead of our normal diluted. so, what is the official word again afa best time to take it? with food or without? But, not at the same time as probiotics right? (I'm sorry, I read through this entire thread once before but I don't know if I can do it again! "me"! I thought you were gone! You were so helpful with all of the DE stuff! ) |

I have a hard time with water. I think when I start up again it will be in smoothies. I put the boys' in their oatmeal.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I think it mixes really well in OJ. I normally have HUGE sensory issues with stuff like that and I can handle 1 Tbsp mixed in fairly small cup of OJ.
So I can take it with anything? I like to take my vitamins with OJ to cut down on the aftertaste and had quit taking the DE b/c I wasn't sure if I could put it in the my OJ and then use that to take my vitamins. |

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I was lazy today and just held my breath and put a spoonful in my mouth, then put a spoonful of yogurt in my mouth.
If you put it in a smoothie, do you put it in the blender or just stir it into your cup when you are done? If you blend it in the blender, does it grind it up and mess up the shape? I have been taking it since Friday and have seen no changes yet. Does that mean I need to up the dosage to a Tbs already, or do I just need to give it time?

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
Just read the whole thread. . I started reading last night, apparently I gave my Dh nightmares about parasites because I'm such a verbal processor. . As soon as I can I will be getting some.
OT but wrt "normal" thyroid levels, you have to make sure you get the actual results. My ds3 had his TSH levels taken and the doctor's office called and told me it was normal. I asked for the number and it was about .01 from hypothyroid. That is not "normal" IMO especially when someone has symptoms. |

When I added it to a smoothie, I added it after I was done blending and just stirred it in, just because it seemed easiest. |

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I just did a bit of digging and it seems the stuff I got has a lot of clay mixed in. Which accounts for the thick sludge-like dirt drink I've been trying to get down.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
Yea, mine isn't sludge like at all. Chalky is what I think of trying to describe it.

Yes, I remember reading that, so that is why I said I held my breath.
