Severe adverse reaction to liquid vitamin - has anyone had this?

Hello. I am 14 mos post op open rny and got tired of Flintstones chewables and the One-a-Day's were hard to swallow so i tried "Millennium Tonic Liquid Vitamins with Amino Acids" (no sugar) i only took 1/2 capful and this was my reaction: within 5 minutes i felt super super hot (like a furnace inside of me), my face and hands felt hot and swollen, my heart was racing and pounding, i was sweaty and clammy, and my throat felt like it was closing up, i had a really hard time breathing. after about 10 minutes i had to use the bathroom and after about 15 minutes of liquid stools my body temp returned to normal, my face and hands felt normal, my heart rate normalized, i could breath again and i was left with a slight headache. i've had dumping syndrome before but not like this -- this was almost like dumping with anaphalyctic shock but i didn't know anaphyalactic shock could pass without medication such as epinephrine... any ideas?? thanks!
