When I saw my diabetician a few months ago, he told me to increase my Vit D
from 800 to 2000 IU per day. A few days later, I came down with severe
diarrhea. I stopped taking the the extra Vit D, but the runs continued for
months! When I told my wife, she started making a tea for me, using
pomegranite rinds. Within 4 days, I was back to normal. Does anyone else
have any experience with pomegranite rind or leaf tea?

I've never tried it. Was told to take 4,000 IU of vitamin D per day. I
don't get that much, but close. I think between all the supplements I take
I get 3,800 IU which I think is enough because I test in range.

Not at all but I am surprised about the supposed cause being the Vit D. A
number of years ago my daughter had bad runs (with vomiting), months down
the track she still had the runs (no pain or vomiting). She was stool tested
and found to have a bug, the type you can get swimming in creeks etc (which
she had been doing) or eating under cooked chicken. The name of the bug
escapes me but it wasn't e-coli. Antibiotics cleared it up rapidly and took
care of the trots. Is it possible you had a tummy bug? Pomegranate rind
might just have a natural antibiotic effect? I have no idea about that but a
possibility? Do you feel up to trying the Vit D again? It is a most valuable
vitamin.

Thanks, Ozgirl. I haven't been swimming in a creek in many decades and they
cook my chicken well. I see my diabetician on Thursday and when I tell him,
he'll probably order a stool test. I don't know the mechanism of the
pomegranite rinds/leaves, but they sure work! Yes. I'll try the Vit D
again.

One of my sons drank swamp water when he was 10, and came down with severe
stomach cramps(we didn't know at the time he drank it)...the Dr's thought it
might be appendicites, it wasn't . Finally they put him in the hospital for
tests and to be put on a drip for pain. Finally they did a stool test on him
and it was Giardia. They were surprised because he never got a loose
stool...they put him on some pill that turned his skin yellow...after a
couple of weeks he was finally rid of it. He learned not to drink swamp
water....LOL.
If we live where there is alot of sun do we still need extra Vitamin D ?

I live in the sub tropics, we get lots of sunshine. There can be absorbtion
problems. I take between 2000 and 2500 mg? or whatever the measurment is, of
D3 per day.

The only place I have seen it used is this site extolling the virtues of
black seed oil

"Diabetes (India)
Mix a cup of whole Black Seeds, a cup of watercress or mustard seeds, half a
cup of pomegranate peel, and half a cup of fumitory. Grind the mixture to
powder. Take half a teaspoon of the mixture together with a teaspoon of
Black Seed Oil daily before breakfast for one month."
