Definitely. Two years ago, I took Caltrate which contains polyethylene glycol. There was no effect the first day I took it, but I was extremely dizzy, had terrible headaches, and experienced stiffness in my left hip and shoulder on the second day. I now try to avoid all glycols. I know I am extremely allergic to propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and butylene glycol. Good Luck trying to avoid these harmful chemicals.
