If your physician has you on K chloride and you have renal acidosis with low co2 and high chloride, ask them to put you on K citrate. Your co2 will rise and chloride will go down. I found a study and showed it to my doc. He was in agreement and it worked very well ! I could breathe again !
Is Diamox gluten free or type that is? thanks
Dr. Diana, thank you SO much for posting this video! I cannot thank you enough! I have been taking Diamox since the end of August (2.5 months ago) and it helped tremendously to alleviate the horrid pressure and headaches I suffer from Chiari Malfomation I.
