I was taking DE about 1/2 teaspoon twice a day cause i was already constipated.
Felt it helped me with the smaller ones but not the big ones (probably this dose is not enough)and also with toxins. No scattering for me then BUT yes kidney pain. Im not sure about the cause of that - my research showed:
- not enough water intake
- some said DE can affect kidney/possibly
- candida dye-off toxins /DE affect also candida and some bacteria (you should expect some dye-off like)
I would give it a try starting slow dose and increase step by step. I was taking it 1/2 teaspoon in a glass of water 100ml. some said to take it 10 days then take a break others dont have any problem take it continuously. I guess it depends on your body situation. Not a good idea if you are constipated.
