Suggestion on Multivitamins

I went to my surgeon last week and he says that they now do not recommend taking the childrens chewable vitamins because they have found that Centrum Chewables are much better for absorption. He told me to finish what I had of the childrens chewables but to take 4 a day instead of 2. Check with your doc, see what he says. Just passing along info that I thought could help

hi deb,my doc put me on centrum to. I was taking flintstones and he said finish them and either take centrum or a prenatal vitamin. I will just buy centrum this week......................vickie r.

Deb...thanks for the information...I have a mega supply of the flintstones..will switch over when I finish them...take care.....why did he say double up? Dennis

YEP, ME TOO, MS DEB ... NO MORE FLINSTONES CHEWABLES. I'M NOW TAKING OPTISOURCE CHEWABLES FROM WALGREENS FORMULATED ESPECIALLY FOR GASTRIC BYPASS PATIENTS. YOU TAKE 4 A DAY. NEXT MONTH I'M GOING TO TRY VISTA VITAMINS WITH CHELATED MINERALS FROM BARIATRICEATING.COM WHICH IS FORMULATED FOR GASTRIC BYPASS PATIENTS AS WELL. I'LL SEE WHICH MAKES ME FEEL BETTER & GO FROM THERE. I READ THAT FLINTSTONES ARE FORMULATED FOR A 40 # CHILD & THEIR NUTRITIONAL NEED ... SO, THAT KIND'A GOT ME TO THINKING EVEN THOUGH I WAS TAKING 3 A DAY. PLUS, A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE BOARD SUGGESTED THE GASTRIC BYPASS FORMULATED ONES. I'M FEELING BETTER & HOPE TO FEEL EVEN BETTER NEXT MONTH. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
