BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
However, theoretically any silica should work I suppose. Best of luck!

Whilst the bleeding seems a bit worrying, it's possible it could have been caused by parasites as the DE was attacking them. When they let go of the gut wall they could potentially trigger a bleed. Or the DE could be breaking down polyps or even a tumour or something in the gut. It may not be the actual DE that is causing the bleed, but what it is dealing with.
The test may be to see if it stops over the course of a few days. Maybe taking less DE for a while would help. Can't be sure on any of this, but just thinking outside the box......

Sounds like parasites are expelling

You should not be bleeding from DE. Stop taking it. Either dose is too high, or DA source is not good.
Tips on Using DE
★★★★★
For Flea Prevention: start at the head of the cat or dog and go to the tail with a line of the DE from the bottle. Rub it in. Do this once a week during flea season. Once a month during off season. DE is not a cure-all in my opinion, it is part of the prevention. Again, you don't want you or your pet breathing this stuff in so, the environment for application should be very calm. Wrestling a cat and trying to apply this stuff would kick up the dust. It is non-toxic but you don't want it in you or your pets lungs. If your cat is a mixed martial arts specialist, try something else. I also use an old rouge brush - dab it on the back of the neck of one cat who comes by occasionally.
For Ants: Try to locate the entry point of your ant infestation and squirt a small amount of DE in the corners of the house where they are coming in. The ants or bugs will die with contact of this stuff. I had ants coming into certain parts of the house...I watched them and figured out where they were coming from. Problem solved. No need for pesticides. Remember, if you apply DE to the outside of the outside, it will have to be reapplied if there is moisture (rain) or very high humidity. It will wash away.
By the way, I am asthmatic - DE has not bothered me at all when used in this manner. If I had carpets, a respiratory compromised person or small children, I personally would not put it on the floors. This is just my opinion.
Good Luck!

If you have ants coming into the house, check for a water leak. I did everything under the sun to get rid of ants and couldn't, then found I had a small leak. Fixed it and no more ants.

Thanks for the great tips on diatomaceous earth! I was just thinking - beauty supply stores would carry empty plastic bottles that would work the same as a mustard container.. check the hair coloring section.
