Spirulina and upset stomach?

[hapahaole]

Has anyone experienced an upset stomach when taking spirulina? It's happened to me a few times now. I just drank a couple heaping teaspoons of it in a glass of water and I'm super nauseous right now. It seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes I get sick sometimes I don't and I don't know why.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Start out using it slowly with 1/2 a tsp until your body gets use to it. Green powders are powerful and sometimes you can have a cleansing reaction.

I'm assuming it's a good quality raw, organic formula.

Yes, raw and organic. I've been using Spirulina for four months now. I started out with 1 tsp. And I've been using 1 T. these days today I couldn't find my tablespoon so I just used the teaspoon.

I sneak it into a blueberry smoothie. Not stomach problems, and the blueberries hide the fact that the stuff turns the whole smoothie DARK GREEN... Which is okay if you find that aesthetically pleasing, but my co-workers hate seeing my "jar of mud" in the break room fridge!
