Again, your right on the money SP. I had a problem with the Niaspan too. Within about 4 days after starting it, I developed my stomach problem.

I agree about my triglyceride condition being hypertriglyceridemia. BUT, my elevated triglycerides developed over a fixed time span, leading me to believe that they are asymptomatic of a separate underlying condition - cumulative liver congestion. The following is a direct quote from http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2921.htm which raised my eyebrows. It appears basically as a small afterthought in a large article on hypertriglyceridemia:

"Other causes (of hypertriglyceridemia), such as common bile duct obstruction and alcoholism, must be considered as possible etiologies."

There is a circular relationship of healthy bile flow and good cholesterol and triglycerides readings; you can't have one without the other. You need unobstructed biliary ducts for the production and free flow of healthy bile, which allows for the proper digestion and full breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. When properly processed by the GI tract with the aid of healthy and appropriate quantities of bile, the liver can reabsorb, regulate and eliminate blood lipids in a manner which will stabilize cholesterol and triglycerides. This also leads to the production of future healthy bile stores.

I'm guessing that if I cleared my liver, my TG's would normalize. I feel like my bile flow is better now because I appear to digesting food much more efficiently (fewer and smaller BM's with consistent coloration), I've lost weight easily, and my appetite has increased.

Is the flush free niacin an over the counter supplement, and what's the recommended dosage? Are there any side effects?

Later,
Rotgut
