Okay, I need help. I'm feeling totally baffled (and ill) right now.
I started taking Solgar's 800mcg folate, once daily, about a month ago or so. I've been feeling really unwell. At first it was just on occasion, but now it's every day. This time around, though, it's not just the muscle aches and headaches that happened when I tried to take folate in the past. It's a lot of stomach upset - I'm constantly in the bathroom, especially after eating, chills, anxiety (just feeling nervous for no reason)... The stomach garbage is the worst. I've also been getting some cystic acne.
I've been off folate for at least a week and have been taking niacin, but some of the issues are persisting. All I've eaten today is a little protein shake, and I've had to visit the bathroom 6 times now. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms, and if so, how long did they take to clear up after stopping the folate?
