Yea, I wish I could get more Iodine in, but the SSKI is giving me upset stomach to the point of vomiting unless I have food in my stomach that helps absorb it. I think I have leaky gut and likely low stomach acid so all those things are probably contributing to my problems keeping it settled.
I was thinking of doing more painting (perhaps mixing with lotion as it sounds like less might evaporate?). But from what I've seen Iodine stains like crazy, so I've always painted my legs wearing shorts at home (not exactly something I can do at work). Does mixing it with oils or lotions keep it from staining clothing? Does lotion really keep it from evaporating, or should I still figure on 12% absorption rate when determining how much to take?
