Ganoderma Reishi: Possible Side Effects?

Hi, I am 26 years old and I live, for as long as I can remember, with gastrointestinal problems and severe migraine attacks which over the years have reduced, albeit partially, the quality of my daily life. As for my gastrointestinal problems, which can be enclosed in the concept “I digest very few foods and consequently, I have a somewhat limited diet”, I have carried out checks of all kinds without however encountering any real objective problem (if not a slight reflux), but over the years, also thanks to the onset of some food intolerances, the variety of my diet has been drastically affected. To this is added, as mentioned at the beginning, a severe migraine that has been occurring at least 1-2 times a week for … decades now. I have solved, albeit partially, both problems thanks to a neurologist and to taking the “Fluxarten”, but since it is a rather heavy medicine, after a cycle of about 6 months I was forced to stop the treatment. Result? The migraines are back to being as violent as before and my stomach has begun to “tantrum” again. So I decided to turn my attention to natural remedies, ending up discovering Ganoderma. I have been taking capsules of the aforementioned mushroom for now 6 months and, except for sporadic cases, I can say that my migraines have almost disappeared but … as they say, there is a however: over the months I have found a progressive improvement of my digestion regarding salty foods, at the same time noticing a marked worsening of my digestion with regard to sweet foods, especially chocolate, a food that I have always eaten regularly and that, now, surprisingly, causes me severe attacks of nausea and migraines the day after taking it. After this long poem, therefore, I come to the definitive question: is it possible that ganoderma can intervene on the digestive capacity of the stomach to the point of affecting the digestion of specific foods? And if so, is there anything more suited to my problems? Thank you in advance!

Hi, I would personally suspend the Reishi also because it acts on the factors of blood clotting, so it is certainly fine for a short period but then it will have to be suspended and resumed after a few months, it is a product that is still under study. I wonder if by chance she has carried out tests for celiac disease, and I also recommend that you take a look at the blood group diet and eliminate from your diet for some time (a couple of months) milk, cheese and derivatives, to evaluate the organic response. Reading her story, I am struck by the fact that she has been suffering from these problems for many years, almost certainly at the base there is an anxiety problem, have you ever tried a path with Bach flowers? in my opinion it could be a good solution to her problems.

Hello, I don’t know this mushroom in depth but I know its anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic action. Furthermore, its capacity for action also extends to the anxiolytic ability to relax the muscles and therefore I can assume that its reduced digestive capacity is due to a mental tension that should instead also fight with physical and yogic activity, thus working on itself. Of course, mine are just assumptions, having no more knowledge to work on. Also as regards chocolate, know that the foods we like most and that we eat regularly are the ones that cause addictions and intolerances! Regarding the more or less favorable digestion of certain foods, I recommend contacting a naturopath who deals with traditional Chinese medicine who will be able to help you in this. Greetings and let me know. Cinzia Zedda.

Hello, I’m sorry first of all for your trouble that I hope you have to find a quick and tangible solution … Having said this and just to avoid being presumptuous, increase or create other problems, I stop only in telling you that the products based on Ganoderma Lucidum act in function of 2 things..1) The quantity as a percentage of the extract in the product 2) another thing is the quality of the extract! I personally can bring you my experience … it helped me a lot to enhance the treatment that was beginning to lose effect for a glaucoma that would have led me to total blindness within a few months .. Already 4 years ago .. Today I have my 9/10 tenths of sight, no side effects and indeed benefits in terms of metabolism and more that were not even foreseen. But I add one very important thing, I am not a professor, but my advice is to have a targeted therapy for you and your pathology by a ganotherapist or in any case a professor who has skills in the aforementioned product, there are several species of ganoderma, but only one has the maximum benefits, but them you can draw alone, even here, by relying on a company that extracts it in an optimized way and creates different formulas with the extract, do not ask me for details, because I would not know how to answer … but contact me calmly, because with certainty the ganotherapist who follows research from , I think, I know her for more than 30 years and also where to get this extract that I would say miraculous, .. But it would be heresy, until you try! Wishing you a lot of health that you will surely find, hoping to have been of a minimum of help .. serene continuation! Davide Zanella (328 1040587)
