Sensitivity to supplements

Hi!
I am sitting in the same boat.
Since I got ill I am so sensitive to everything.
First I noticed I could not tolerate medications I used to take for years. Then I was not able to tolerate alcohol any longer and finally nearly any normal dosed supplement is causing strange side effects. That's really a problem, because I can't tolerate what most doctors are prescribing (even vit. C, b-vitamins, amino acids). I always open the capsules and only take a fraction of it.
Very annoying and not always easy to explain.
I guess it's some kind of central sensitization as I got also very sensitiv to noise, cold, heat and other factors I was able to tolerate when I was feeling normal.
