Quercetin?
Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2018 6:27 pm
So I’ve had some kind of upper respiratory thing since Thursday afternoon. Not sure if it’s allergies or a sinus infection as I usually get both this time of year. Temp is under control with Tylenol. It started with an itchy scratchy throat, both dry and runny nose, mild sinus pressure behind the eyes, mild itchy watery eyes, and a mild sinus headache.
I bought some Quercetin capsules by Life Extensions about a month or so ago but never really bothered using em much. I took one late Thursday night, and one before I went to work on Friday.
Everything seemed relatively ok. My stomach has been cramping on and off, and giving me rounds of nausea on and off but I’m not sure if that was due to inflammation from drinking last weekend, post infectious ibs recovery, both, or a relaspe. The sharp pains have subsided immensely, and bms have gone back to pretty much standard except for additional bm. (Was having 3, now having a fourth “mini” bm). I do have mild on and off cramping still, but not as intense as it was Sunday-Tuesday.
I have been getting false alarms too where I feel like I’ll have to go, get to a toilet and be fine. It’s not an urgency thing, it’s just “ok let’s just get this out” I’ll get to a toilet, and then...nothing. Won’t even feel like I’ll have to go. Weird.
Today I woke up around 9. My stomach felt fine and I was actually happy. But my itchy scratchy throat was back and wanted to sleep for another hour since I didn’t get much the night before. I took one Benadryl and a Quercetin capsule together with a mucinex. Then I also added a 1000 mg vitamin c capsule (nature made brand). As I was falling back to sleep my stomach felt crampy, and I went to the bathroom. Perfectly Normal bm. All fine and well. Went back to sleep.
But then I woke up again at 11. This time the cramping was more intense. Rushed to the toilet and had one profuse watery bm. A few hours later I felt I had to go again. It was grainy and clear colored little pieces.
Has anyone here had Quercetin and have this reaction before? Maybe it was in combo with the vitamin c?
I’m obviously worried about this “recovery” at this point. It’s no secret. I thought being 28 I would definitely be more like my old self again by week 7. Like I said these on and off cramps I’ve been having out of nowhere since week 5. I did go HEAVY on drinking last Saturday and paid for it dearly up until Wednesday when things finally started to calm back down. Maybe that set me back. But also, unlike last time I’m taking VSL probiotics twice a day and florastor once a day, and I feel like it may be “masking” a potential relapse. Is that possible?
EDIT to add: what really scares me is this is the exact same sequence of events that gave me c diff the first time. Upper respiratory crap (though it was influenza b the first time); stools going bizerk, then came food intolerances after that. Maybe it was just a coincidence but it definitely gives me PTSD.
