Dear health peoples on Nostr,
My wife has a bad reaction to Folic Acid, and every single women's multi-vitamin that we can find includes that as an ingredient. Can someone help me identify a multi-vitamin for women over 50 that does not include Folic Acid?

eating well ~> dont need a multivitamin
what did bloodwork say? what are the deficiencies if any? if i knew, i could pass this along to someone more knowledgable then
(i am not a doctor or nutritionist or expert in anything im a rando)
She's probably going to have to use invitamins intended for males, then supplement with (chelated/bioavailable) iron.
Also, folate might be an ingredient that she does not have a reaction too.
Good suggestion, but she does have a similar reaction to Folate.
She found one, a pre-natal that might work. Will give it a try for a bit to see how well it works.
Sounds a bit odd.. But don't eat a lot of foods. Stick to fruits/veggies until she recovers. So you easily eliminate the cause
Prenatal wouldn't be an option? Sorry about your wife having a hard time. I bet that's not easy for you. But If vitamins are making her sick, perhaps it time to go back to basic foods. Like salad, some meat, and little to no starches.
