Question:
Could my vitamins be causing diarrhea?

Thursday I started taking 2 multivitamins ( I had been taking liquid centrum), Sublingual b12, iron, and calcium. Friday, the diarrhea started and hasn't stopped...I was just awoken by it...again. The only changes I have made are taking multivitamins in pill form, and adding the iron, b12, and calcium. If it is due to my change in vitamins, then what? The b12 is from GNC (sublingual) and the rest is from vitalady. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!! Thanks!    — Lezli M. (posted on August 17, 2002)

I get a bit of upset tummy twice a week when I take my b-12 sublinguals. I believe there is ginseg in them also which can cause this is some people. I would try taking my vits only one kind a day for a week to see if any of them are the culprits. Good luck!

I found the iron pills caused me diarrhea. Make sure you drink liquid to compensate for the lossof fluids!
