warning vitamins!

hi

Beware vitamins often contain Sorbitol artificial sweetner.

Bad for IBS sufferers and not shown on the label!

I'v suffered agony at the weekend because of this.

Hi GFF! Good post! People do need to know about this.

Most reputable vitamin/supplement stores would not sell vitamins with Sorbitol...

A big mistake is buying the cheaper vitamins at stores such as Target, WalMart, etc... oR Heave forbid: The Dollar Store!

Many tests have been run, and very often these cheap vitamins (although you CAN pay a good price for them!) have been shown to be over half 'filler' powder...It always pays to get the better brands... even though, believe me, I hate paying those prices, too!

I have felt quite a lot better using some B12 patches that have 10 other vitamins in them too. You can buy them from amazon and ebay, you put them on for 24 hours once a week and I had no bowel issues because they bypass the bowel and go straight to the bloodstream. I also use a D3 oral spray that again goes straight to the bloodtsream, but unfortunately it is peppermint flavoured and I have issues with mint flavours setting off my diarrhoea symptoms sometimes (often happens with toothpaste). I can hardly ever take vitamin supplements because they give me GI issues
