AREDS 2 and side effects

I have a stomach ache after taking PresserVision Areds2. I always take it with food. Recently I had some internal bleeding. I stopped taking all supplements. I wonder if the Alreds2 was in conflict with other supplements. I have Intestiual Lung Disease with general dryness. Wonder if that's part of the problem.

I'm in my 80's & had a GI Bleed which was tough to overcome. I spent (5) days in hospital with many transfusions before bleed stopped. I believe the difficulty was the vitamin E component of the Areds2 gel tabs that were taken (2x/day) for about (5) years.
Vitamin E is fat soluble; therefore over (5) years that would be a large accumulation of Vitamjn E in my body. Vitamin E is a blood thinner and causes difficulty with blood clotting, I probably have a weak spot in my colon that has a tendency to bleed & likewise in my nose lining.
When I was discharged from the hospital, I decided to quit Areds2 completely. I had (1) GI Bleed since & also nose bleeds but they all cease rather quickly without any need for a hospital.
Now I'm hoping to find a substitute for Areds2 without Vitamin E.
Anyone have any suggestions????
