"My health has improved dramatically since I have made a strict effort to avoid phospates, but not completely. I used to have very clear skin, but my face is usually covered in red "bites", much like acne, which I never had. I suspected that lecithin was the culprit, and I see it listed on your page as something to avoid."
"I get much sicker than just a skin rash if I ingest added phosphates- I get really bloated, sharp stabbing pains in my gut, headaches, and it coming out both ends simultaneously. My symptoms vary depending on which version of the phosphate additives I eat. Sometimes I get undigested food in the toilet, with grease floating on top of the water. Ewwww!!!!! TSP is the worst, that's a 72 hour delay with a week of explosive @!#$!%. The others, like DiCalcium Phospate, affect me about 7-9 hours after I eat them, I get the runs about once and I'm bloated for a few days, with "acne" on my face showing up as much as a week later"
