I am trying ti connect the dots… I have had moderate to severe diarrhea for about 18 months…. About the time I stared taking AREDS 2. Have been through every test in the book…
I am stopping this vitamin immediately and seeing if that is whats causing it. Also going to share this info with my GI doc at my appt on Monday. Anyone else had this long term? I had no idea this could be a side effect of my AREDS supplement

Yes, I recommend that you read this whole thread. You’ll see that there are others of us that have experienced this same reaction (and more), including me. Mine did not start as soon as I started AREDS. And I was going thru a very stressful time, so for a long time, I attributed my intestinal problems to stress. But it got progressively worse over the years, even after the stress had resolved. So I started looking for other causes. My husband suggested that maybe it was the Preservision AREDS. As an experiment, I stopped taking them, and my symptoms went away immediately.
