@diainais Welcome to our group we have different problems band hopefully some will help others I do take Areds for my m.d and haven't had any side effects like your husband has That doesn't mean it may effect him differently
we are all different I would ask your opthalmologist about this

Hello @dianais,

As @lioness said, everyone reacts differently to products such as this. In looking at the product online I see that it is a combination of vitamins and minerals. Do you think your husband might be allergic to any of the ingredients in this product?

In order to discover the reason for your husband's digestive problems, you may have to do some detective work to find out more about this. For example: How long has your husband been taking Areds 2? Did these symptoms start when he first began this product or later on? Do these symptoms happen every day or intermittently? Does he take this product with meals or on an empty stomach?

A consult with a Gi doctor might be a good idea as well. Has your husband seen a GI doctor for this problem? Just some thoughts for you to consider.
