Question 1

Do the grapefruit diet make you constipated and is there a vitamin i can take to help with constipation while on the diet?

Accepted Answer

Are not drinking enough fluids meaning at least 80-100 ounces caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily. Also grapefruit has a chemical that interferes with many different meds affecting their potency. If you are on any meds check to make sure their absorption is not affected by grapefruit ingestion.

Question 2

Are there any foods or vitamins / minerals, which can increase / promote glp-1 secretion? 
bitter taking foods? grapefruit? thank you?

Accepted Answer

To the best of my knowledge, foods have not been tested for the function in question.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 3

Accepted Answer

No known interactions with grapefruit juice and your daily vitamins.

Question 4

I am trying to heal  my diverticulitis flareups naturally is it ok to take ginger root,vitamin d,grapefruit extract,apple vinegar through out the day?

Accepted Answer

these natural products will harm you. Grapefruit extract can interfere with other medicines you might be taking but on its own is OK. Vitamin D can be toxic at extremely high levels. Limiting your intake to less than 2500 IU/day is advisable. Ultimately the acidic content of vinegar will put a workload on your kidneys but in reasonable quantity is probably OK. Ginger should be OK.

What vitamin could have a bad interaction with antabuse (disulfiram)?

Accepted Answer

No vitamins are known to have any interactions with antabuse (disulfiram). Indeed, i feel it is wise for alcoholics to take b vitamins. Esp. High doses of vitamin b3, and many will also benefit from vit c, zinc. Magnesium, chromium etc.- see http://www.The-alcoholism-guide.Org/orthomolecular-alcoholism-treatment.Html 
however, one should avoid any herbs in tincture form!

Question 9

Bupropion is an antidepressant and smoking cessation agent.
Vitamin d is involved in the  activity of 2, 000 genes and can be viewed more as a hormone. It is widely used as adjuvant in the treatment of many diseases, especially in northern countries. Despite no consensus on the optimal range of vitamin d, 60-100 ng/ml are being suggested. There is no interaction between the drug
and the vitamin.

Question 10

What's the latest research on the interaction/detrimental effects of vitamin a (eg from raw carrots) on vitamin d3 (from sunlight) effectiveness?

Accepted Answer

This is at present a fringe idea, primarily the work of a handful of pro-vitamin-d, anti-vitamin-a militants on anti-doctor websites; the centerpiece is a 2009 number-crunch journal article on vitamin d levels and colon cancer with a tiny sidebar on vitamin a. I hesitate to draw cause-and-effect conclusions from studies based only on statistics without an obvious mechanism.
