Am I Having a Bad Reaction to GNC Hair, Skin, and Nails?

[Adaj]

Hi Ladies,
OMG! My stomach has been hurting something terrible ever since I started taking these GNC HSN vitamins. I don't know if I should stop taking them or will this subside after a few days. It almost feels like I have to go to the bathroom or something. I don't like the feeling at all. Have any of you felt this way?erplexed

If you're not taking them with food, then start. If you are taking them with food and it's still causing you this discomfort, you should probably stop. I remember years ago drinking the Ultra Hair Thick Shake and the pain was so unbearable I just left it alone. Sometimes that's what you have to do. You can find other alternatives that won't cause you such discomfort.

I am taking them with food, but the stomach aches almost feel like hunger pains. I think I am going to give them until tomorrow, and if I still feel the same way, I am going to stop them altogether.

This could also be a side effect of not drinking enough water.

So sorry you are experiencing this.....I would stop taking it until you see a doctor....

Check them and see that they are what they're supposed to be. Just the other day a lady posedt on here about buy biotin pills from them but they turned out to be asprin pills instead.

Everything is not for everybody........Sounds like something is not agreeing with your system. I totally agree that you should stop taking it until you consult with a doctor. I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope you feel better soon!!!

I take hair vitamins but they make my sister sick on her stomach. Maybe another brand would work for you.

Stop taking them ASAP! and consult a Dr. not us! I hope everything turns out well.

How much water are you drinking? All vitamins jack me up if I don't drink enough water. I get in 6+ glasses of water every day just from taking my vitamins 3 times a day and drinking a half liter bottle of water each time.

Hey there. I second and third the motion to go to the Doctor about this...but I wanted to add that just about the sickest I ever got was after taking GNC vitamins. My stomach was upset the first couple of days after taking, so I stopped. THEN, I got nauseous for another 5-6 days and had trouble keeping anything down. I had to do a 2 day fast and a nearly round-the clock full body flush with organic prune juice mixed with fiber and also dandelion tea in the evenings just to get it completely out of my system. The nausea passed but I was still sick for a few more days.

In all, I had nearly 12 days of misery....

Hopefully, you've stopped taking it and will get medical attention.

Hope you feel better soon,
