I started taking vitamin e about a month ago. I wondered if anyone on here has had negative side effects with digestion when taking it. I am sensitive anyway and have many intestinal issues. I've been having worsening stomach pain and diahrea. Thank You

Dear 'kackle'
Just reaching out to say I am sorry you are feeling so poorly.I have never taken Vitamin E so unfortunately not able to give you any feed back.Stop taking them for a few days and see if you feel better.
The only supplement I take is Omega3-the fish oils.
Probably some other ladies may be able to jump in here with their experiences'

Hope you feel better soon

Warm Wishes
Elizabeth

Thank You Elizabeth.

Hey same here, I take Omega 3's, but I am also sure there is Vitamin E in my supplement. Never had an issue, the only one supplement I have to watch out for is Magnesium when it comes to stomach upset...

Have you been on any antibiotics lately? Reason why I ask, is I went thru a hell of a time w/my stomach, and it took me a while to realize that my issues got worse after they had put me on the Z-pack. Took me like 2 or 3 months to figure it out...

For about a month now I have been taking Probiotics and a digestive enzyme (am/pm); and I believe it has help me tremendously. I was up to 2 Zantac per day, haven't had one in about 3 weeks now. I had acid so bad that I had blisters on the inside of my lips.... And let's just say going to the bathroom is a much better experience. Also make sure you are getting some fiber in your diet. I eats plenty of fruits and veggies...

Do you drink coffee? If so cut back, at least until your stomach settles down. Watch your caffeine intake for a while...

Well just some suggestions, what has helped for me. I use to be the walking gas company, but not so much any more....LOL

Best of luck.... and perhaps try switching to an Omega 3 instead of the Vitamin E, wouldn't hurt... Everyone's body is unique...

Feel better, sending blessings your way...

Thanks for the ideas. Since stopping the e my stomach is getting better. Everyone is so different, I am able to tolerate magnesium but not fish oil and other vitamins.

Hi Kackle,

Vitamin e has really helped me feel better but I think it's better tolerated in small doses. How much were you taking at a time? I take 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg at night. Also, taking it on a full stomach is a good idea too. When I take fish oil supplements first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, it really effects my digestion too.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

I was taking 400 i.u. on an empty stomach before bed. I'm surprised I didn't think of taking it with food. Thanks
