Is it Possible for Emotional Stress to Make You Ill?

If you don't like the fizz, stir it up really well and let it sit for a bit while you surf BYC - it's easier to handle after some of the initial fizzing dissapates. Apparently they think they're doing you a favor with the "great fizzy taste" but, neither me or DH can stand it. Also go with the plain ole orange or tangarine flavor, maybe pink lemonade, I don't recommend either of the purpleish-colored flavors (raspberry? acaie berry?)

I would just say to take vitamin C pills, but there's something different about the Emergen-C, maybe it's the combination of minerals, or maybe the extra vitamin B's but....pills just don't have the same effect.

Is there no way to just stuff it down your throat and deal with the fizzy stuff in your stomach?

They should make the same stuff in pill form, but like I said they seem to think they're doing you a favor with all the fizz

Believe me, I have EsterC 500mg capsuls, and the stuff just doesn't do as much for me compared to the nasty fizz

YES! stress will weaken your immune system.
I suggest people with your condition need to get some vigorus exercise at least three times per week for 15 to 20 minutes. 5 days is better.

I don't recommend drinking milk. That can throw you into fits also. Humans don't need as much dairy as those stupid piramid things suggest (they are printed by the national dairy foundation BTW...)
If you're worried about calcium, eat vegitables, and take calcium CITRATE it's easy to digest but it costs more, calcium carbonate is cheap because it is ALMOST useless to the body, but it's better than nothing.

I recommend to people taking a good quality multivitamine at breakfast AND lunch. At breakfast take an x-tra 1000 MG vitamine C.
Also take a high quality multi mineral at night just before bed.

(always take vitamins with a meal, and never before bed--take minerals at night before bed with a glass of water.)

Finally, drink as much filtered water as you can. Don't have a filter? let it sit over night in the fridge to let the chlorine outgas. you need lots of water for your body to filter out all the garbage.
