I also recommend that in the future I would avoid capsules since you could also be allergic to the gelatin or the formaldehyde used to harden them. Are you serious! OMG. That would explain the issues I was having with capsules when I was still dealing with the formaldehyde issues in my room. Where did you learn that? Seems like such an obscure bit of info to find out about, although extremely important!
I don't remember where I first heard that. I learned that a very long time ago.
Here is a link about it though:
http://www.omri.org/Gelatin-TAP.pdf
"Capsules
‘Gelatin’ capsules are made from gelatin and various other ingredients. These are manufactured by a number of different
methods (see various patents, and Jones, 1987). The earliest reference to gelatin capsules makes no specific mention of any
ingredients other than the medicines encapsulated (Cauhaupe, 1874). However, current gelatin capsule formulations
contain a wide variety of other ingredients. Each ingredient needs to be addressed on its own merits. One of the earliest
improvements was the addition of sodium carbonate to correct for stomach acidity (Heineman, 1891). At about the same
time, it was discovered that formaldehyde (formic aldehyde) and other aldehydes can be used to harden gelatin capsules
and enable them to pass from the stomach to the intestine (Weyland, 1899). A number of other ingredients have been introduced to harden both soft- and hard-capsules since that invention, but the most extensively studied has been
formaldehyde (Jones, 1987). Improved methods to detect formaldehyde cross-linking are of interest because trace levels of
formaldehyde may have an adverse effect on the capsule contents (Gold, et al., 2001a, and Gold, et al., 2001b)."
