AREDS

I know this is a personal subject but has anyone noticed that the AREDS have caused them horrible gas? I offend myself it is so bad. Before anyone ask I had a recent colonoscopy so that is ok, haven't changed my eating habits so..... anyone else?

  1. I have taken Areds2 for years and never noticed any increase in gas. There are many things that can cause gas. This article outlines the most common ones. https://www.healthline.com/health/smelly-farts#causes
    I take probiotics to keep my gut healthy. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

    1. Never had any issues with gas from Areds2 and have been taking them faithful for 6 years with food ALWAYS.

      1. I'm the same - no problems with them if I take them with food. I actually need a meal with them. If I try to get away with just a piece of fruit or slice of toast, I usually feel sick for about half an hour. At first I wonder "Why do I feel queesy?" and then I remember! Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.

    2. I've never had this problem. I've taken the supplements for about eight years, always with a meal, and never experienced this issue. I hope you can sort it out. Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.

      1. Another good reason to take AREDS.
