Question

most natural sources of vitamin c gives me an allergic reaction. my face breaks out, some welts come up under my skin and when they break the surface and are these big painful itchy bumps, what can i do? dermatologist here are pretty expensive!

Answer 1

i have same problem i can not eat a orange with out reaction, i pop a benadryl eat my orange and drink a gallon of water
if u cant get benadryl look for vitamin c with low acid they do make them but it has been a while since I've taken them

Answer 2

Eat more fruit. You do NOT have to have citrus fruit to get vitamin C. Also, green vegetables are rich in vitamin C. You can also take a supplement. They're pretty cheap at the grocery store.

Answer 3

Take a good multivitamin.

The GNC Women's Mega is a good one.

Personally, I like Flintstones, since they are chewable.

It sounds like you have an allergic reaction to citrus fruits. They are causing you to break out in hives. You can take a generic version of Claritan for that.

Answer 4

Try a multivitamin that has vitamin C in it. If you continue to have a reaction to it you should see a dermatologist.

Answer 5

When your doctor told you that you needed more vitamin C in your diet, he should have also told you how you could go about getting it considering your problems. Call the doctor and ask for you money back.

Answer 6
