Also the only meds I take are levothyroxcin & Amlodopine ( the latter only for the past year). No other supplements or anything else. I tried taking Areds but quit recently because they were affecting my entire digestive system. Found out the amount of zinc in them is toxic. Waiting a couple of weeks & will start on Lutein with zeaxanthin only as recommended by my eye doctor. My primary does not believe in daily multivitamins or other supplements. I agree with him.

@mydogsbestfriend welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see from your post that (though you are not diabetic) you have some meds that affect a variety of systems and perhaps causing digestive problems. The levothyroxine is for thyroid, part of the endocrine system. Amlodipine is for blood pressure or cardiovascular system. Areds & Lutein are for your eyes. Have you discussed your digestive concerns with your primary (or the prescribing physician)? Maybe he can consider other alternative medications.
