Brief Answer:
6-9 wks after the Niacin intake is stopped

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

High dose of niacin sometimes affects liver besides intestine. Therefore I would suggest an option of detox treatment. I would need your location to tell you the therapy center nearby.

Dr. Savaskar,
Hi, thank you for your response. I feel like you are really trying to help me. My primary care doctor did a lot of blood work and everything came back normal. Also tested negative for parasites.
I was taking Advocare which is not FDA approved here. It is a colon cleanse/weight loss supplements you can google it ( drinks, shakes, supplements) I did the 24 day challenge and on day 15 is when I went to ER. I have since found other people have had reactions as well, these supplements are dangerous! I have had an endoscopy of my stomach and colonoscopy the doctors did biopsy of stomach and colon. I am taking the 60 mg of Dexilant because I had gastritis/burning so bad it was the only drug that stopped the burning. The burning was in my stomach and back, and at first all over my body. I feel like the doctors here do not want to help me, or they are doing all they know to do. I appreciate your advise on my diet. I also took cold medicine while I was on Advocare and fear there may have also been a medicine interaction. I am dealing with dry eyes with drops and mouth with spray. I also have sensations in my arms and legs and sometimes my head mostly after I eat it is awful. Do you think this will stop over time? I sure hope so. I also seen a neurologist for the sensations in my arms and legs and my exam went fine. There is something wrong.

Thank you,
XXXX
