I started taking a suplment called BoneUp with more vitamin K and after taking it I developed a rash all over my upper body and some swelling in my lips. Had to go to doctor to get a shot. Have you heard of a reaction to this supplement or to Vitamin K. Thank you!

I think I wrote my comment wrong. I can eat but only food that have medium to low amount of vitamin K. I never had any food reactions until I took a sumplement called BoneUp with more asorbing vitamin K. I need to know what to do about this problem. Thank you for your information.

Thanks for your question, it's a great one!
Yes, Vitamin K can cause an allergic reaction and it's generally a rash, and can be like the rash you are describing.
Interestingly, Vitamin K that is found naturally in foods doesn't usually cause an allergic reaction - only when it's in capsule/supplement form.
It sounds like your shot was a hydrocortisone shot?
Did your doctor tell you to stop taking the supplement? This is a good idea. Ask for advice on what your alternatives are.
Best,

April 4, 2012 - 2:46pmI went to allergist and he told me that he had never heard of an allergic reaction to vitamin K and did not know what for me to do. I can not eat anything that has a medium to large K without having a rash. Do you know of any hospital or doctor that could give me information about allergic Reaction to Vitamin K. Thank You so much for your information.
