I like herbs
At first I thought only micronized was doing this to me, I took it unstrained because it wasn't suggested to be strained. But now that I use traditional prep kava, I'm still having this issue. I can tell it's likely dehydration as my urine often has little to no color, but it tends to be yellower. As far as I can tell I drink enough water to not piss the bed, I mean just at work even if it's a 5 hour day (I work part time atm) I'll drink 72oz of water. Water is all I drink, really aside from almond milk which tends to go in my nightly chamomile tea.
I'm sure doubling up on magnesium and such would be OK. This seemed to work alright for me before but it hasn't lately, I went awhile ago and it was like black rocks and so difficult to go. Now I do tend to have issues like this more in the winter. During spring/summer/fall, I tend to go for a 4 mile walk every evening, and given I work retail I'm often walking around a lot anyway so I guess probably 6 miles of walking on average. I have ADHD, so it's hard to stay still. But then it can also be hard to do anything when it's winter.
I'm only posting this thread because I don't know how many others this affects. If a bit of Miralax here and there with magnesium is the only answer then I guess that's OK. I have CHRONIC tinnitus, the worst you can imagine, and ever since I discovered kava, while taking it my ears are so much better. Even now, on a day off, where my ears are always worse, they're great. It's just incredible, I have no idea how it works this well, nothing else does. Until I figure out what is really wrong, this is my solution and it's letting me sleep better and generally just stay sane. Imagine 100 CRT televisions whining and a vacuum cleaner going and you might have a slight idea how bad it really gets.
Now, I've only recently stopped taking an extract which... would get pretty clumpy. It says on the bag it dissolves in water but it totally doesn't lol. So it's almost like taking micronized in a way. After accidentally taking too much the other night and having a horrible time, I swore off it. So maybe once I switch to exclusively medium grind I'll be OK. I did make a thread yesterday with some other questions about medium prep and apologize if I'm rapid firing with thread questions and such. This plant just amazes me. I've tried everything anyone could ever suggest for tinnitus. I didn't order kava for this reason, I just wanted to try it out. I had no idea it would help my tinnitus this much. I thought the whole time I was taking micronized that it was simply ibuprofen I took for headaches that reduced my tinnitus, but no, it was the kava the whole time.
