I have just received it. I'm wondering how you took it...

I will try and search for a thread - I think you explained it - how much you took each day.


When I take certain antibiotics...and sometimes my herbs...I have a sour taste in my mouth for many hours...I don't know if it's GERD.

I'm thinking the D-Limonene can't hurt.

I take one 1000mg gel cap just before going bed. It helps sleep too since it calm your mind, but does not cause any additional sleepyness in the day.

You can sometimes burp orange the first hour if you take this in the day and move around - why I only take at night.

For reflux and candida, I took one per day (1000mg) of Jarrow brand D-limonene for a week or two I think , then tapered off too one every other day for two months and tappering off even more to nothing the following months.

I had reflux really bad, so you might not need this much.

Now I take it for liver support- its better than the herbs the lyme community uses for liver.

So, it treats Candida?

So, if I don't need that much - would taking one every other day be good?

Or should I split the tab or cap (don't know which it is) and take half daily.

Also, is there any side effects...or anything I should be worried about? It's just citrus oils?

I read it may have anti-cancer effects...bonus!

You would think since it's citrus oils..that it would be acidic and have the opposite effect.

1000mg per day wont hurt - they claim a lot more is safe.

Yes, it has some anti-fungle, and ant-cancer properties.

Some citrus acids turn alkalyzing in the stomack for some reason.

It can speed up drugs that go thru the liver. This "speeds up" the liver. Drugs dot com said this I think.

"Some citrus acids turn alkalyzing in the stomack for some reason."

Well I guess lemon juice is one...we drink it to alkalize our system...

Astroman - I know this is a super old post, but Girlie mentioned D-Limonene. I just posted a thread, I have terrible reflux to the point that it is going up my nasal passages.

I am grateful to Girlie for recommending it, and to you for discussing it - I will definitely give it a try.

what are your thoughts on the anti - acidic diet, and did you do anything else to help heal your GERD (I have atypical reflux, which is Gerd without the heartburn symptoms)

TIA!

hope you are still on the forum from time to time!

Chapelle - I sent Astroman an email - asked him to post if he has time.

Yes, I had GERD with out the heartburn symptom. Its confusing terminology, that it goes by many names! I was pretty much suffocating in acid laying in my sleep. Woke up gasping.

I cleaned up my diet - the acidic part, that helped a little back when thgis was going on. What helped most was 1000mg of D-Limonene nightly then gradually every other day Jarrow brand, 60 for $10, best deal around. I have several posts on this if you search here. Makuna honey helps a little also. Other popular suppliments (long list)didnt do much vs DL. I went GF / Candida Free food too at first - as I had all of this plug leaky gut back in ...08 or so.

I took D-Limonene for that sleep effect that everyone was mentioning for few days and it did help my sleep but what I noticed was that it has reduced my stomach acid. I love beets and have been eating them often with no ill effects whats so ever. On days when I took D-Limonene I noticed my pee was deep red from beets which is a test how well does your stomach acid works, if pee is clear that means your stomach acid is good, if it's color of beets it was unable to break the beets. I have never taken it again.

D-limonine does not reduce stomach acid. It can have an effect on Rx meds that go thru the liver, this info is on drugs.com.

The orange oil enzyme protects damaged stomach and esophigeal lining from acid, allowing healing to occure- helping the LES to close properly. It does promote liver detox and proper bile "flow", which could maybe show up in urine.

DL has only greatly improved my many digestive issues I've had in the past with no ill effects, even whils on ABX. But, If/when we take many combined suppliments, some odd things may occure.

Its always good to do saliva PH litmus paper test strips when digestive issues are going on.

I'm so sorry to bring up this old post but I'm very glad to read that D-Limonene does not reduce acid. My issue is gastritis from H.Pylori due to lack of acid. I wanted to take DL for H.Pylori but was afraid it would cause less acid. Anyone know why DL isn't recommended for those with ulcers? I figured gastritis is close enough to an ulcer..
