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...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi Holly, I’ve been taking Jarrow brand folic acid, which I buy in a health food store near me. They’re based in L.A., so I’m not sure how widely they distribute their products, but here’s the link: http://www.jarrow.com/product/96/Folic_Acid Each capsule is 800 mcg and the other ingredients are: cellulose and magnesium stearate (vegetable source). Capsule consists of gelatin. No wheat, no gluten, no soybeans, no dairy, no egg, no fish/shellfish, no peanuts/tree nuts. Their products seem to be available via mail order as well.
