Hi,
Just wondering about the bioflavinoids in vitamins often with Vitam C. that come from ctirus. Do you react to these or are they okay for you?

Celia,
Are you sure they come from citrus? Most ascorbic acid, (and citric acid), is made from corn, these days.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Tex, this is a new multi-vitamin I am taking. The bioflavinoids definitely come from citrus. Are the problemantic amino acid sequences in the citrus or could they be in the bioflavinoids too?
A few weeks ago I tried an esther C with bioflavinoids from citrus and it didn't sit well with me but it may have been the C, not the bioflavinoids.
Neither of these vitamins have corn.
By the way, I took a look at the poll you posted with people's different genetic combos. Very interesting. I will post my there when I get them.

Hi Celia,
I know very little about bioflavonoids. I notice that this site: http://www.acu-cell.com/bio.html makes this comment:
"Unless there is an allergy or intolerance to citrus (some individuals find that flavonoids, particularly from citrus worsen their eczema), there are no other adverse or overdose reactions known, even when very high amounts are supplemented every day."
Not that this has anything to do with your question, but I was intolerant of citric fruit, (along with dairy, corn, most types of sugar, and most fruits and vegetables), before my recent surgery. Since the surgery, though, I find that I can tolerate all these items, (except citrus fruit--because I haven't tried it, yet).

Hi Andrew,
In Mid November, I had to have emergency surgery to remove a blockage caused by a stenosis in my colon. About 18 cm, (7 in.), of my sigmoid colon was removed. The diagnosis was acute diverticulitis, and while I will agree that diverticulitis was probably present, I believe there was much more involved.
If you do a search for information on diverticular colitis, you will find a perfect match with my symptoms.
http://patients.uptodate.com/topic.asp? ... _dis/30776
I think I read somewhere that roughly 25% of patients with diverticular colitis, develop a stenosis, which eventually requires surgery in order to resolve, or prevent, a blockage. That is exactly what happened to me.
These reports may be of interest to you. Generally speaking , though, you're too young to be a typical candidate for diverticular disease.
