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.
