Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi SCDer's! I just realized this morning that the Freeda brand Folic Acid that I have been taking for 6 months contains cellulose gum (totally illegal!) I can't believe I have been this careless, it is maddening! My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for years now and I switched brands when I started SCD in September, I guess I just assumed the Freeda brand was ok since many other ones are legal (kicking myself). Does anyone know of a legal brand of Folic Acid? Thanks, Holly O. Crohn's 5/09 SCD 9/1/09 No meds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hey Holly- how much are you trying to get? If you can tolerate a " serving " (3 tablets) of the Freeda Mulitivitamin, it has 800 mcg of folic acid. My old prescription pre-natal vitamin was 1 mg so this is pretty darn close. -Joanna SCD 9/2009, Crohn's 1992 Prednisone 30mg Does anyone know of a legal brand of Folic Acid? > > Thanks, > > Holly O. > Crohn's 5/09 > SCD 9/1/09 > No meds > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
