zinc poisoning?

So the other day I was taking my usual supplements with breakfast and instead of taking my normal zinc 50, i took zinc 100 (same GNC company). For a little while my stomach had minor aches and I had some diarreah. I was on my way to a job interview about 4 hours later and my stomach was in huge pain. In the middle of the interview i had to get up and go to the bathroom. But the pain just got worse and my stomach hurt so much i pretty much fainted and they had to call 911 in th emiddle of the interview!!!!! Even though the pain diminished I was burping and cramping all day going into the next day. Today I feel much better, but I am so scared to eat or drink much. I was never close to puking but a lot of diarreah and BURPING. any ideas??? maybe an ulcer? Zinc toxicity?
Yes I know, I should see a doctor but I’m already seeing like 4 of them for unrelated problems.

You could have a nervous disorder or a Gastro-intestinal Disorder just rearing its ugly head. Some people can’t tolerate certain food or supplements. If your taking anything that may give you the shits, I suggest Calcium Citrarte. There is an article/post/reply by Hobby here on it.

I suffer from ass problems and get nervous during certain times, that sends the control rods out of the reactor so to speak. I get shit attacks real bad. I try and avoid greasy foods first off. Smoking usually sends you into a shit also. Alcohol also can give you the trots. I had cramps from my condition so bad I was perscribed phenobarbidol and told I may have to apply for permenant disability over 4 years ago. I had every ass test done known to man.

If you have any ass problems feel free to email, pm me or just reply to this thread. I will do my best to help you out.

I take 6,000 mg of Fish Oil caplets, 2 to 3 Amodium AD Advanced Caplets a day, plus 3 calcium tabs. It really helps me out so that I can actually go outside and away from a toilet.

So anxiety may be the cause. Anxiety with an ass condition feed off each other. So just watch out.

You mentioned you were seeing four other doctors. Did they perscribe you anything that would give you the shits or gas? Almost every medicine can stir up your bowels. So be careful.

Zinc can certainly upset your stomach. 50mg without food gives me a horrible belly ache. 30mg with food doesn’t bother me.

100mg isn’t enough to poison you. In fact, some men take 100mg per day for several weeks to restore their zinc level (which brings testosterone up to snuff if they were previously zinc deficient).

Prolonged intake of large amounts of zinc can cause copper deficiency because zinc and copper compete for absorption. Depending on how much copper you get in your diet (from food and drinking water from copper pipes), it’s a good idea to supplement copper if you take a lot of zinc. GNC sells 30mg zinc pills that also contain a few mg of copper. That’s what I take.

As Mister Hobby writes there could be one factor contributing to the problem like how rough zinc is on a person. I believe that there could be a whole bunch of issues like the zinc stirring your ass up plus general nervousness for a job interview compounding it.
