Does anyone here have problems taking supplements? for some reason i cant tolerate any type of herbal or vitamin supplement.

My stomach problems started after i took a 5 month course of antibiotcs for a prostate infection. Before the stomach problems developed, some supplements really helped with my prostate but now they will just mess up my stomach if i try to take them and as a result im living with urinary discomfort on top of all my other issues.

I feel like one thing will aggravate the other...if i take something that might help my stomach it will have an adverse effect on my prostate and vice versa. does anyone have any suggestions? also, am i the only guy on here?

Thanks,

Jason

Are the supplements you are or were taking gluten free? I like Nature Made.

Centrum changed their formula this past year and they cannot say that it is gluten free. I called them a couple months ago and they said that they hope sometime in the near future they will be gluten free again.

My husband can eat gluten but he gets upset stomachs when he takes vitamines (don't know why).

A lot of people tend to do better with vitamines when they eat something before or after taking them.

Sorry I don't have much knowledge with your complete question but hope it helped some.

No, you are not the only guy on here :) There are a couple of guys that post a lot on here all the time and then some that you will see once in a while posting.

Hope you can figure out the supplements situation.

GOOD LUCK

Has anyone heard of/tried this?

Some of us who post on the huge OMG thread have had a lot of problem finding supplements we tolerate. One thing that has been helpful has been to find an alternative therapist who does ART testing. This is able to test the supplements for what your body wants, tolerates, and what doses and whether the supplements agree with each other and your body. It has been quite helpful for a number of us.

I'm also wondering if the supplements are gluten-free. Many contain things I cannot have, even when they are gluten-free, such as dairy. If you are sensitive to gelatin, you'd need to either use Vcaps, tablets, liquids, or powders. But still do be careful to only use supplements which have all the ingredients listed, and have a list of things they don't contain.

I find Open Original Shared Link and Source Naturals do a pretty good job listing ingredients.

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
