A Weird Happening

Landy

New member
I had the weirdest thing happen this a.m. I ate breakfast and took my 3,000 IU of vitamin D, an enzyme and also took my first AquaADEK ever.

OK, fast forward 20-25 minutes later. My cheeks start to feel like they're burning, then my whole face, then I notice that my arms are blotchy, then I look badly sunburned everyplace and I feel like I'm on fire!! Luckily I wasn't short of breath too! Approx 45 minutes later, I looked normal, but was now freezing instead of hot.

It would seem obvious that I had an allergic reaction, but to AquaADEKs??? Who would think you could be allergic to a vitamin, for crying out loud??

As for what I ate...nothing that I haven't eaten 100 times before. The oatmeal was from a brand new box that I had just opened, but I really don't think that's it...

Any opinions?

Niacin flush! Caused by the Aqua ADEKs. They were supposedly going to be reformulating them because of that issue, but you must've gotten some of the original batch. DS doesn't have the same issue with his aqua adeks drops, but know one of the other kids his age had the same problem -- was posted in the family area.

The niacin flush thing was addressed earlier. It's not an allergic reaction and although uncomfortable not an issue is what I remember someone saying. I think it might have been lightinlife. Either way I'm sure she can direct you somewhere she's so knowledgeable.

Yikes!! I did a search on niacin flush & did get a few posts on this--thanks for answering. It's good to have an answer on what happened.
Now I'm off to email my doctor...
