By "high" I just meant that it was a relatively high dose (in each tablet) to be taking daily, on a long-term basis, because the vitamins in the product are in the active form, so they are absorbed at a much higher rate than most conventional vitamins. And they don't have to be converted to the active form by the body, so even those of us with compromised systems get more benefit from them. The label-recommended dosage is one or two tablets per day. I've always taken one per day, because they're not particularly cheap, and they're not covered by most insurance. At one per day, I don't worry about an overdose of any of the ingredients, but at two per day, that might have to be considered (on a long-term basis).

I had episodes early on where the soles of my feet felt as though I were standing on a scalding hot surface, and occasionally I had sort of stabbing pains on the top of my feet, but fortunately, in my case those symptoms usually faded after 10 or 15 minutes. A couple of neurologists discovered that my lower legs and feet had poor reflexes and poor sense of touch, but when I tried to convince them that it was due to gluten damage, they refused to believe me. Since I don't have diabetes, they couldn't explain the cause of the problem, but they were too hard-headed to admit that it could have been connected with gluten-sensitivity. LOL.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Thanks Tex...I guess we've both had experience with 'the hot foot'! I'm glad yours didn't settle in.
