Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | For what its worth, my dietician at HUP put me on Vit C, Zinc, a multvitiamin and Vit E AFTER I had radiation in 1997 to 'boost the immune system and improve healing'. Vit E has since become a no-no. I added a Vit B50 complex to improve my nails among other things. My RO said take no vitamins during treatment. Not certain that is true anymore either.
I took this regimen for years and then developed an allergic reaction to all of them causing severe diarrhea. Took me a couple of years to figure that out, but when I stopped all of them, the diarrhea went away.
As with all supplements, check with your doctor before taking anything.
Take care,
Eileen
