Selenium really should be taken with vitamin E, as they have a synergistic effect (i.e. they work together).

Vitamin E is actually a fat-soluble vitamin. Perhaps you would benefit from either taking the vitamin E with other food (when there are more enzymes in your stomach) or taking Hi-Lipase (a lipase enzyme supplement) to help you break down fat-soluble vitamins (and foods).

People who have trouble breaking down fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A or vitamin E often have similar problems when eating fatty foods too.

Until I had my amalgams removed, I had a difficult time with fatty foods, but since their removal, my body is handling them much better than before. However, I still take Hi-Lipase if I eat a lot of fat (i.e. cheese-laden foods, etc.), which helps me not to feel so tired and stuffed after eating these kinds of foods.
