B Complex Vitamin

Does anyone have problems taking vitamins, especially B complex vitamins? Last night I took a B complex vitamin (enzymatic formula) and about 10 minutes later I became very nauseus then had very bad stomach pain and burning all night. I am still feeling the effects of it today. I was wondering if anyone has this problem or might know why it happened. Thanks.

I have problems with B vitamins. I don't know what it is.. but after taking them I become prone to anxiety attacks & really agitated.

I used to run a health food store and my best friend (who managed another one of the stores in the same chain) also couldn't take B vitamins. We actually came across a number of people who have trouble with B vitamins. Unfortunately, I've never figured out what the problem is with them! I know that they are *supposed* to be helpful with emotional balance, but they had the opposite effect on me.

I had problems too, but mine took several days/weeks to really show up enough for me to say "enough!" ;-) Actually, I think I took them for 2 months. They made my face muscles feel funny and taut in a weird way, and I got dark circles all around my eyes, not just below.

Any chance the tablet had a gluten binder in it? Also, if your B vitamin has a lot of folic acid, it may keep you wired for a while. I get circles around my eyes if I take too much folic acid because I don't sleep for days afterward. I do get lots accomplished, however.

Folic acid keeps you awake? I had trouble sleeping for a few months, never thought it would be from the vitamin. Mind you, I didn't get squat done, just felt very very tired during the day.

B vitamins create energy along with complex carbs - so yes they can keep you

awake!

I found a liquid b that is gluten free, it does have niacin which can

flush your face for a bit, tastes good! Hasn't hurt my stomach at all. :D

The problem I had the the B vitamin was horrible stomach pain. I didn't have any wired feeling or anything like that. It Was Enzymatic Therapy brand. The other ingredients besides B vitamins are vegetable polysaccharide capsule, potassium bicarbonate, modified cellulose gum, and magnesium sterate. My stomach is still bothering me. I can hardly eat without it hurting. It is pains and burning in the pit of my stomach that sometimes goes right through to my back. I just want it to stop hurting! :angry:

I get the same symptoms as Michelle. They make me nervous which is the complete opposite of what they're supposed to do :blink: . I've put it down to the B12. If your body (and brain) has high heavy metal levels, B12 methyls them.....changes the metals into aggressive neurotoxins....creating unfavourable mental symptoms...yikes!

Don't get any stomach pain from them though.

I get stomach pains and queasiness from any strong multivitamin. I've got a touch of gastritis so I've always chalked it up to that.

I'll probably try the new chewable multivits first, they only have 12 vits-in-one, and if they irritate my stomach I'll go for the liquid.

I've never had stomach trouble with the vitamin fortified drinks, Ensure etc.

Thank you for all of your replies. Are the liquid vitamins the easiest on the stomach? I might try the liquid if it is.

If you think the vitamin is safe, try taking some food containing protein or fat with it. This is the only way I can handle them (B vitamins and multivitamin) without discomfort. GNC vitamins list all of the allergens on the back.

I too have problems with vitiamins but it doesn't stop there. I have severe reactions from ANY supplement. I have been told that it can be a liver problem but my blood tests show no evidences of that sort. I check everything--supplements or vitamins for glutin so this isn't a problem. It makes no difference whether they are liquid or powdered. A horrible reaction every time. I know of one other person that has the same condition. Chronic

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
