I too am on the hunt for that magic formula. I have about average ejaculate. Its about 5ml and in between thick white and clear runny. I did try zinc a few months ago and experienced some cold symptoms, but more importantly severely intense abdominal cramps and diarrhea. I mean cramps like getting kicked in the nads every 5 minutes and you could feel them ramp up and then ease off. I did go to the ER over this and they just wrote it off as a stomach bug. I was taking a 50mg zinc supplement from wally world but I didn't pay much attention to the 25mg in my multi-vitamin. I quit taking the 50mg and it still took about 36 hours for the cramps to go away completely. The ER did put me on a liquid only diet and for about 10 days after that I noticed a huge increase in volume and a minor increase in consistency. I don't know if it was the zinc working its way out of my system or the change in diet. I should also note that I take Flomax for a still unidentified prostate problem and the multi-vitamin was a prostate health formula that includes extra zinc. My diet consisted of mostly crystal light lemon tea individual mixers (0 caffeine) or strait water, jello, chicken noodle soup, pudding, and oranges. When the abdominal problems went away I upped it to turkey or ham on wheat and mostly healthy choice pasta bowls with some junk/fast food. Supplements were a multi-vitamin and lycopene. I should also note that I was working in the oil/gas fields living in a travel trailer on the rig site so simple meals and bottled water were a standard of living. Now that I am home my diet has changed back due to convenience and isn't as good and it reflects in my load. I am going to try and experiment with some things and I will try to post my results in a scientific way. The prostate issue makes it harder to do but if I did it once I can do it again. Things I intend to try are more fruits including oranges since they were present last time. Healthier diet. Supplements will include the regular lycopene and I have since added saw pawmetto, both for prostate health. A multi-vitamin, lecithin, l-argnine, and possibly some other things. Just whatever you do BEWARE OF TOO MUCH ZINC.
