Does anyone know if a FITBIT ALTA that you wear all of the time to measure your activity and sleep quality would cause a problem for a person (myself) with a fib? It says PurePulse Heart Rate. My daughter gave me one for Mothers Day. I was wondering if something like this could bring on a fib. Thanks so much for any information you can give me.

Help, I think I am getting a histamine reaction to Low Sodium V8. I get a very itchy rash. Some of the rash is big welts. The only way to get rid of it is to eliminate the offending food of which tomato seems to be one. Does anyone have a suggestion? LSV8 seems to work so well for me. It seems like you have to take so much of the Potassium Gluconate to equal the amount in the LSV8. I do eby Maryann - AFIBBERS FORUM

Thank you everyone for all of the information. I have been gluten free for just about eight years. A Dr. I was seeing tested me for wheat and gluten and said not to have any and not to even touch it. The Dr.also had A fib. I believe I will now go grain free. . I have all of Dr. Fuhrman's book as well as Dr. Perlmutter's and Dr. Davis's. I get so confused. Who do you believe???by Maryann - AFIBBERS FORUM
Does anyone know anything about the Joel Fuhrman, MD way of eating and how it effects A fib? I know it is mostly vegetarian. He disputes what Dr. Davis says about grains. He agrees with what he says about refined grain but not about whole grains. He also says that Drs. Davis and Perlmutter recommend to many animal foods. Thank for any information you can give me.

Where do you get the Exatest? My DR said she has never heard of it and can't find it listed in any of the blood tests. Thanks for any information you can give me so I can tell her. Maybe she will be able to order it for me. Thanks again, Maryannby Maryann - AFIBBERS FORUM

Has anyone tried the new Bluebonnet magnesium with the magnesium oxide in it? If so did you have any reactions to it? I had some ectopic beats that night after taking it. Don't know if that is what caused them but I rarely have them. I tried Dr's Best yesterday and woke up about 5 this morning with the same thing happening. First time that I have been awakened with ectopics. In eitby Maryann - AFIBBERS FORUM
Anyone have any comments about Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium Glycinate now being buffered with Magnesium Oxide? Noticed this on the new bottle I just got. Says it is to increase the alkalinity making it more gentle on the digestive tract and easier to absorb. Good thing or not? I've never been a fan of magnesium oxide. Thanks for the information.

Has anyone had any experience with Joel Fuhrman? Does anyone know anything about his program? I know he is mostly vegan and that you need to add nuts and seeds to his program for your fats so as not to get atrial fib. He claims that is why on the other programs such as Ornish, Esselstyn, etc you end up with afib from cutting out the fats and oils. I was just wondering if anyone knows anby Maryann - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jackie, I'm anxiously awaiting your posting on opinions of curent researchers on the Paleo diets. Much appreciate your offerings. Maryannby Maryann - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jackie, No I don't know my homocysteine level. I checked my blood tests for the last several years. The hematologist said I shouldn't be concerned with my ferritin level unless it was over 1000. The one copy of the allel detected has not been associated with symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis. I have read elsewhere people commenting that it does make a difference in how you feeby Maryann - AFIBBERS FORUM
I have had LAF since 1996 about 8 or 10 episodes. Never lasting more than 4 hrs. I have mostly gone to the ER. Several times they gave me meds to convert and several times I converted on my own. The first time it happened they gave me magnesium to convert. The last two times I converted just after arriving in the ER ( I take atenolol for the afib. 25 mg in AM and 50 mg in PM).
