Biotin is an essential water-soluble B Vitamin. The name Biotin is taken from the Greek word bios meaning "life." Without biotin, certain enzymes do not work properly and various complications can occur involving the skin, intestinal tract, and nervous system. Metabolic problems including very low blood sugars between meals, high blood ammonia, or acidic blood (acidosis) can occur. Death is theoretically possible, although no clear cases have been reported.

Biotin deficiency is extremely rare. This is because daily biotin requirements are relatively small, biotin is found in many foods, and the body is able to recycle much of the biotin it has already used.

Do an online search for Biotin and 1,000's of places will pop up offering to sell you this product.

Macro, I take a Vitamin that is manufactured in Australia....Berocca Performance. It has ALL the B vitamines, including Biotin, and some other stuff. I have to buy it on Ebay from a lady who lives in New York on the Canadian border, but you should be able to buy at your local drugstore!

It comes in three flavors and effervesces in Water like an Alka Seltzer tablet. I use the orange, stir in a tablespoon of Fiber supplement AND a packet of Crystal Light that is orange flavored because I can still taste the Vitamins a little if I don't.

If Biotin is a B Vitamin then you probably get enough by eating your daily Vegemite! Vegemite is full of B Vitamins.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
