I know your post is quite old, but I need to know if you have attempted using GCG and Chinese bitters after your ordeal. I think my problem is severe because before I started using it, I became dizzy during and after every meal. After taking Chinese bitters I do not have the dizziness. Did you just use GCG and Chinese bitters alone, or did you use it with coptis and curcuma, like Julia Chang recommends (the 4 pack)? I have been using CB for 3 weeks then recently 5 days ago switched to GCG and using coptis and curcuma at night for a month now. I value your opinion and look forward to your response!
