FOOD REACTION: First, check your medications since all medications have not only side-effects but drug interactions. Second, check your supplements as flushing is a common reaction to Niacin (vitamin b3). Third, consider a food reaction. This can be determined by doing a blood test for for delayed food allergies or igg reactions. To minimize reactions, use base powder or tablets to help you get more alkaline.
