Re: Question About Folic Acid-- CHELI

[Guest guest]

Thank you for getting back to me. I gave it some thought about taking it at

night but it only takes a few minutes for it to get into my system and I'm

afraid that the terrible shakiness, upset stomach, and the dreaded insomnia

will kick in before I get a chance to fall asleep and I will be right back

where I was. I guess you and I are the only ones who don't handle folic acid

well because you are the only one I have heard back from. Thank you again. I

am hoping my rheumy will have an alternate for me to take or maybe suggest

foods that contain folic acid.

My body didn't like Folic Acid to much. I was able to take it still but only

at night. I felt sick to my stomach if I took it during the day. I can't

take multivitamins. Every time I try I get so sick to my stomach by the 3rd

day I'm off of them. Vitamin D pills I have to take at night. I take one a

week. So basically I would say I don't do good on these but I have been able

to take these pills to some degree. Sorry I'm not much help but I wanted to

give you what I felt.

Shay, I found a couple of sites that have lists of foods with folic

acid:

http://pediatrics.about.com/od/nutrition/a/908_folate_food.htm

Hope this helps, Sue

I understand about taking it at night. I have been off of MTX and folic acid for

about a month now and I feel much better. When I got of the MTX I still took the

folic acid for a week just to make sure I had some in me. The day I stopped I

felt better. I was up to 4-5 a day to fight off the side effects of MTX. I wish

there was more I can say to help with the side effects you are feeling from it.

I hope the doc has something to say. Let me know if you find out anything. How

many are you taking a day? Do you get side effects from vitamins like I do? Did

you read the post about getting folic acid in the form of food?

Thank you for this. I do find if I eat some of these things in a more than

recommend (over indulged) I do feel sick. Ha ha ha it could be the food and a

really full tummy but I also wonder if folic acid is to blame also. Lol.

I fear there is much I miss.  I do not know I am taking mtx until I forget to

take the folic acid and get nose sores.
