Combination of Supplements Allows Me to Work and Exercise - But causes extreme Gastritis

Summary
Built a roughly 60-item daily supplement stack (B12, NADH, high-dose antioxidants/glutathione, SAM-e, CoQ10, glandulars, ribose, phosphatidylserine and more) over three-plus years of trial and error for CFS, fibromyalgia and Hashimoto's. Says the combination lets her work and exercise 2-3 times a week with much less pain, calling it "really a miracle," but the same regimen also caused severe gastritis requiring sucralfate to manage. As of the post she is trying to fix the gastritis rather than abandon the stack, so the functional gain is real but comes bundled with an unresolved, significant side effect.
