Maca -
Hi ladies has anyone had digestion problems when using maca as a supplement.
I have been adding a small amount to my cereal, a couple of days a week. Since using my buzzing legs have improved greatly(although that could be magnesium or vit d supplement). Big huge BUT my stomach has been dreadful, stabbing gut pains, running to the loo and terrable wind.
Notused it since Tuesday and I feel a lot better😀😀
Has anyone else had problems
and if so, did the side effects go on continuing use?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi jillm, I was just wondering about maca but I have a very sensitive stomach,did you try it again?

Why two threads

Hurdity told me to put it into search and I found it,sorry😊

Hi Jaypo,

Nope too scared to try. My stomach problems have calmed down a lot. GP says IBS and gave me fibre supplement and mebeverole (not sure I’ve spelt that correctly) which help with cramps in gut.
I may be wrong, but I did feel better in other ways when I was adding the Maca, however I did google (know I shouldn’t) and found some posts saying it caused stomach issues. I may be was using more than I should, someone said you should start small and build up.
I am plucking up the courage to try again. If I do I’ll keep you posted
Sorry if I am not much help❤️

Sorry probably my fault, still not too sure about how to post. Forgive me I am fairy new, didn't mean to cause a problem. I'll try harder😱

Perhaps use one thread ;-) otherwise I gets confused tha' knows 

Maca - i.e. Paul McCartny    ...........

[Jillm]

I'm pretty sure I did search and didn't get anything so posted on my original thread.
Sorry again😳

[CLKD]

Don't apologise. Sometimes my search requests simply don't show

Haha you're a fairy?😂

[CLKD]

Oh don't you start 

   I think that applies to all of us 

What was the question again  my brain feels like mush this afternoon.

[Jillm]

Jillm - you have done absolutely nothing wrong at all! Please do not apologise!!! You posted a specific question about a specific product which is not like a general question about whether others have used it!

jaypo - it's fine to post here!!!! You wanted feedback on Jillm's experiences....

We have multiple threads about all sorts of things - different types of HRT, vitamins anything really. If someone has a question they post it, especially if it hasn't been answered elsewhere....it only occasionally gets confusing 

Re the searches - if you go to the home page of the forum and type in "Maca", lots of thread come up but as you say - the posts may not have talked about digestive issues. This is what I suggested jaypo to do as it would have taken me too long to post up all the links to other threads!

Hope everyone is feeling better 

Hurdity x
