Folic acid

[Mrnmrsm]

Has or does folic acid seem to give anyone awful diarrhea???
I’ve literally had it since day 1 of taking them. (Don’t tell me off) but I tried not taking them for 3 days and I was back to normal, now I’ve been back on them 2 days and I’m back to awful diarrhea every single nighttime!

Is it maybe an additive in the prenatals? I've heard some of them have laxatives in them. I wish I could remember what the name of it is. It could be a preservative in them. I don't know what else it could be other than those things or like you've said the folic acid.

I only take folic acid as any type of vitamins (pregnant or not) make me really sick

Have you tried other brands??

You could try taking folate supplements instead. Folate is the natural version of folic acid

Either, really, just hoping you can find some relief! I had loose stools a lot at first, and I still get them if I eat a lot of fiber (which I know is a different situation from yours).
