Fresh fruits and vegetables provide needed vitamins
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 62-year-old female. After about two weeks (sometimes less) of taking water-soluble vitamin supplements, I experience severe abdominal discomfort or a burning sensation. It feels like I either have a UTI or a vaginal infection. I also experienced the same symptoms taking collagen. It doesn’t matter which form or brand of supplements I take. I have tried most. I have gone to my doctor and have had both infections ruled out multiple times. I finally figured out that it was being caused by the supplements. When I stop taking them, the discomfort subsides within a week. I have no trouble with fat-soluble vitamins. I have asked every doctor I have seen in the past 30 years about this, and none has heard of it. Their solution is to not take them. As I age I am concerned that I am not able to support my health with only my diet. Am I getting enough vitamins without supplements if I eat well? -- S.L.

Divine Intervention?
Dear Readers, Forty-two years ago while waiting to run the mile-relay I asked Joe to my Senior Prom and he said, “Yes.” As a distance runner whose races were scheduled late in the afternoon, track meets were simply long hours of laughter, trading sack lunch contents and cheering on my classmates. I can’t speak for the Healy High Boy’s Track Team, but we girls viewed track meets mostly as an opportunity meet boys from other schools, especially those tall, dark mysterious ones from rival towns.
