Will Apple Cider Vinegar Help In Flushing Excess Calcium In Blood?
Question: Hello, I think I have been having symptoms of excessive calcium. I have interstitial cystitis and Prelief is recommended to reduce the acid in food. It says it is safe to take with every meal, snack, and beverage, so I have been taking about 15 pills a day (2-3 is a dose with 1 pill likely being 130 mg of calcium glycerophosphate and it has magnesium stearate). I have been having many of the symptoms of too much calcium: nausea, abdominal pain upper right), fatigue, thirst, pain/nausea after eating, etc. I had an ultrasound and my liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are all fine. I stopped taking the supplement yesterday as I wondered if this was the cause. I have been having mildly elevated liver enzymes. I am female, Caucasian, and 31 years old. If this is the what is going on with me how do I flush out the excess calcium and how long will it take? Will apple cider vinegar help flush it out? Also, I have been feeling better and would like to have alcohol for the Super Bowl (beer), is it advisable?

Hi, it will take few days and yes you can take beer as usual
But again I would like to advice you to go for calcium level in blood as well as kidney function test, as high calcium may lead to kidney problems also.
And donot take so much calcium in future, as it is not beneficial at all but may lead to many problems in body
take care and if any further queries, please donot hesitate
