    No apology forthcoming. Most people take supplements as a precaution, as am I and, I assume, the OP.

    The term 'medical condition' suggests something for which a GP would prescribe.

    Can't see why vitamins etc in their original packaging should cause any problems.

    Agree that while out of the country, it's worth trying the local fresh fruit & veg just for the fun of it! Could be the start of a whole new cuisine!

    Happy holidays!

    Sometimes it's not worth prolonging a discussion and I sense this is one of those times. My original post stands as it is. <end>

    Not when you have Crohn's Disease unless you're staying very near the toilet just in case :rotfl:

    That's why I take supplements as my body doesn't always absorb nutrients from food properly on the way through.
    Here I go again on my own....
