WHATS FOR SUPPER ?

I AM NOT A GOOD NIGHT EATER BUT  I AM HAVING PORK CHOP W/ APPLESAUCE BIG GLASS OF WATER AND MY  IRON VIT  DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN NOT TAKE YOUR CALICUM WITH THE IRON ? BOO

I have some corned beef and cabbage cooking for my family. I'll probably have grilled chicken and some of the cabbage.

I just found out last night at our support meeting that if you take Synthroid you should wait 4 hours to take your Calcium and/or your multivitaminif it has iron in it. Talk about making me confused now. I never knew that and my Rx bottle only says take on an empty stomach and wait 1hr to eat. How am I going to get all my vitamins in during the day? This morning I took my Synthroid at 5:30 am when I got my son up for school. Then I had breakfast (protein shake) while I was making my daughters lunch at 7am. I'll have to set a clock on the weekends because I don't get up at 5:30 on Saturday or Sunday!

Mary,
I take my synthroid first thing when I get up and it's usually only 1 hour or so before I eat breakfast and then take my vitamins.....no problems so far. I think the 4 hrs is a little excessive!!

Pat

p.s. I also take prilosec early in the a.m.

Pat,

What time do you start taking your calcium? They told us that the calcium would not be absorbed if is taken after the multivitamin with iron. I am suppost to wait 2 hours after taking calcium to take the multivitamin. I'm getting confused.

What times of the day do you take  vitamins and minerals? I need some help to get on a schedule.

Mary

I get up around 6 a.m. and take my synthroid right away.
Then after I have my shower, I take the prilosec. I do my 30 min. of exercise and then have a cup of decaf coffee while I surf the net. I eat my breakfast around 7:45 - 8:00 and after I eat, I take my vitamins. Mid morning - around 10:30 I take two of my calcium tablets. I take the other two mid afternoon or sometimes two hours after supper, depending on when I remember. I take my other vitamin pill after supper. The only other supplements are biotin and zinc and I take biotin after breakfast and after supper, and the zinc after lunch. That's my schedule, but honestly Mary, it's what works for you. Yes, I have been told there needs to be two hours between vitamin pill and calcium pill. Hope this helps!

Thanks Pat. We were also told not to take 2 calcium at a time even if we forget one during the day. I think I'm gonna sit down and write some kind of schedule out and try to stick with it. I figure it this way, at least I'm taking my supplements, a lot of people blow off whole days at a time.
