Another Vitamin Question
on 12/30/12 2:13 pm
I am taking the CVS brand like the Generic of Chewables for my Multi (BOGO).
I am taking the CVS brand of Chewable Vitamin C 1000 mg each (twice a day).
I am noticing something. I ran out of Vit C,, went about a week without it. I just started taking it again today. It is making me really gassy.
Could I be allergic or what is up with this? Any ideas? I was not gassy at all today. Just after I took the Vit C this evening.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Check the ingredients for sugar alcohol which are notorious for causing gas (and loose or frequent BMs) Sugar alcohols end with the letters "itol", so look for things like sorbitol or manitol, or xylitol.
Other Ingredients: Sucrose, Cellulose (Plant Origin), Fructose, Vegetable Stearic Acid, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Calcium Silicate. Contains Less than 2% of: Malic Acid, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate.
In the first 3 ingredients there are 2 kinds of sugar and one fiber. Are you sure its the Vitamin C and not something else you are eating?
Vitalady has capsules with no sugar....

I was gassy while falling asleep last night. Good thing is.. I slept 6 hrs straight. This morning. I did not take the Vit C. I took my other Vits (including my fish oil). It's been 3 hrs, no gas.
Hence, I guess I'm going to be looking for a new Vit C. I hate it that I just bought these! Oh well...
Thank You!
