Disregard my question (re: Budwig), it was answered previously on the thread.

So sorry.

Try a different suppliment, I highly doubt you are alergic to Niacin, its one of the fundamental building blocks... most likely you were allergic to one of the ingredients used as filler in the pills.

Ping!

I was behind a woman in Walmart yesterday that had a "nicein".

My husband's doctor put him on Niacin before trying Lipator (sp?). What you are describing are symptoms his doctor told him to watch for (you may not be allergic to it afterall), he advised him to take an aspirin to counter attack those symptoms. My husband said the aspirin helped some, but he ended up going on a statin drug anyway.

My Dr. started me on 500mg of niaspan at night with one asprin for a month then increased to 1000mg. I have only experienced flushing one time when I forgot to take my pill at bedtime and took it first thing in the morning.

"Cottage cheese, yuk!"

We make a blueberry drink and use flax oil and cottage cheese in it (and rice or almond vanilla flavored "milk" as well as lecithin and psyllium)....for a morning drink.....can't hardly taste the cottage cheese (it's blended.)

Yogurt...some say it's not as good...I've done both and found pretty much the same results.

Thanks for posting this article, neverdem. Bookmarking for future reference. :)

Yes, Yogurt...it'll get the job done. I didn't like cottage cheese either but once I added flaxseed oil to it...I found it to be great!!!

[Riley]

I'm gonna buck the tide here- I *love* cottage cheese. Especially with some sliced peaches. :-)

[ajrfman]

My doctor put me on Niaspan and recommended that I eat several prunes before taking the medicine to help prevent flushing.
