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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
