Side Effects
I miss read the dosage on diatomaceous earth and ended up taking 2 tablespoons… Oops… Are there any effects I should be worried about? I don't feel sick but I did read that taking too much can be very bad for you and can cause flu like symptoms and etc.

I would imagine that the 1/8 tsp didn't do much after the 2 TBS. Nothing to worry about. Just let it flush itself out. So to speak. When things get back to normal, start over.
Why did you take it in the first place?

I just started taking DE . I began with a 2 tsp was way too much, caused watery diarrhea. I dropped to 1/8 tsp and still same result. Will this eventually stop? I had to stop taking it because not conducive with work lol. Maybe take less than 1/8 tsp? Or is there an alternative not so strong?
