Hello all:
(A little background on this one):
Since I have switched to a mainly raw animal foods diet, my body has become
quite sensitive/allergic to many cooked/processed foods. As such, I usually
cannot even tolerate dried herbal supplements (i cannot find them fresh).
This includes spirulina and a host of other "natural" supplements.
Recently, after searching around and reading about people's experiences with
"barleygreen," I decided to give it a try just to see how my body reacted to
it. Well, the results are in. About three hours after consuming one
teaspoon of AIM's Barleygreen powder, my body flipped out. I became very
dizzy, irritable, and had lots of gas and an irritated stomach.
In general I have come to understand that I need to stick with the simple
foods that I do much better on, but I also have a question. Upon further
inspection of the Barleygreen powder, it noted that it contained Malodextrin
(i assume as a preservative). What is malodextrin, how is it made/obtained,
and what are its potential effects on our body, good or bad?
Thanks,
Ben
