For years now I've heard of people with food intolerances. Then I've heard people saying that when they take multiple vitamins that they must be allergic to them as they caused their stomachs to be badly upset. My husband has mentioned this very same thing to me. I aways wondered about this as I'd never heard anything regarding this being documented before-I've even done some searches on this-still never heard anything, but I supposed it could be some ingredient added to the vitamins?

Then today I saw an article about taking multivitamins along with allergies and asthma as a child!

So I figured I'd point it out...and I was wondering, have any of you have noticed any problems with taking vitamins (especially as children) and having allergies??

Hey Teri,

I can relate to this one! Yes, I have major food alllergies / intolerances and have a hard time with any multivitamin that has coloring or certain ingredients. My suggestion would be that if you have a certain allergy to something make sure that you check your vitamins, shampoo, soap, etc. for any form of that that ingredient. I have gluten, lactose, artificial color, additives, etc. allergies and have to make sure that all of my vitamins are color free, dye free...shampoo doesn't have coloring or wheat germ...same with anything and everything that goes on my body or in it.

For those with allergies that aren't so severe....make sure you take your vitamins after eating something! They are hard on an empty stomach...I always take mine at night, then I know I have something in my stomach.

Thanks, Shelley and Welcome to the Allergy & Asthma forum!

I've often mentioned to my husband that I wondered about the dyes in the vitamins, especially the multivitamins which he seems to react to...

Thanks for your input and join in here anytime!
