I know you are not suppose to take Vitamin A supplements while you are on Accutane, but I was wondering those food with Vitamin A is going to affect you? Such as cereal, yogurt, baby carrots, etc. Thanks.

The foods you listed barely have vitamin a, I wouldn't worry about those. As long as you aren't supplementing extra vitamin a.

 

I would make sure you're going enough of your other vitamins though. I'd get on some B-complex and vitamin C. Also make sure you're getting plenty efa's, omega 3's/6's. 50 mg zinc (picolinate) is essential too.

 

Of course I also advice to avoid foods that trigger inflammation. Dairy, soy, eggs, corn, grains are some common ones...

Thanks! I asked because I was reading the label on my yogurt and it indicated 15% Vitamin A based on a normal daily diet. But I'll definitely keep those things in mind.

Don't worry - there's not enough vitamin A in foods for this to be an issue. Just don't take any supplemental Vitamin A
