How does certo help with drug tests?
Terribly. The idea is, if you take Certo you'll pee more, and this will dilute the drugs in your urine. The problem is, pectin pulls MORE drug metabolite out of your body into your urine...so instead of having a metabolite quantity in your urine that's too low to be detected, you wind up with more of it in your urine. Certo is for making jelly. Unless you want to do that, don't get Certo.

Schilling test?
DefinitionThe Schilling test is used to determine whether the body absorbs vitamin B12normally.Alternative NamesVitamin B12 absorption testHow the test is performedThis test may be performed in four different stages to find the cause of low vitamin B12 levels.Stage I: You will get two doses of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). You will take a small, first dose (a radioactive form of B12) by mouth. You will a second, larger dose by a shot 1 hour later. You will need to collect your urine over the next 24 hours, and deliver it to a lab or your doctor's office. The urine will be checked to see if you are absorbing vitamin B12 normally. For information on collecting the urine sample, see: 24-hour urine collectionIf Stage I is abnormal, Stage II may be done 3 - 7 days later.Stage II: You are given radioactive B12 along with intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is a protein produced by cells in the stomach lining. The body needs it so the intestines can absorb vitamin B12 efficiently.Stage II of the test can tell whether low vitamin B12 levels are caused by problems in the stomach that prevent it from producing intrinsic factor.If a Stage II test is abnormal, a Stage III test is performed.Stage III: This test is done after you have taken antibiotics for 2 weeks. It can tell whether abnormal bacterial growth has caused the low vitamin B12 levels.Stage IV: This test determines whether low vitamin B12 levels are caused by problems with the pancreas. With this test, you will take pancreatic enzymes for three days, followed by a radioactive dose of vitamin B12.How to prepare for the testDo not eat for 8 hours before starting the test, then eat normally for the next 24 hours. You can drink water.The health care provider may ask you to stop taking drugs that can affect the test.You cannot have intramuscular injection B12 within 3 days before the test.How the test will feelThe injection of vitamin B12 may sting.Why the test is performedThe Schilling test is performed to check vitamin B12 absorption and to evaluate patients for pernicious anemia.Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:Anemia of B12 deficiencyBlind loop syndromeMegaloblastic anemiaNormal ValuesUrinating 8 - 40% of the radioactive vitamin B12 within 24 hours is normal.Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.What abnormal results meanLow vitamin B12 levels can cause megoblastic anemia.If there is a problem with the stomach's ability to make intrinsic factor, Stage I of the test will be abnormal and Stage II will be normal.Both the Stage I and II Schilling tests will be abnormal in people who have problems absorbing vitamin B12 and intrinsic factor in the small intestine.Abnormal results may be due:Biliary diseaseCeliac disease (sprue)Crohn's diseaseLiver diseasePancreatic diseaseWhat the risks areLocal reaction to vitamin injectionNauseaFeeling lightheadedReferencesAntony AC.
