question for the doc

hi dr. C. i'm not a patient of yours but i was wondering- in your opinon can you take your vitamins and calcium all in one dose. i'm taking them twice a day and sometimes i forget to take them since i don't take any other meds at bedtime anymore. thanks for your thoughts on this. jennifer

To be honest with you our dietitian handles all this stuff. There is I think a rule not to take your iron and calcium together if I remember correctly. The other thing is that if you take Vitamin C with your iron, it increases absorption. If you want go over to Sandy Pierce's site (imnotfatanymore dot com), Erin our dietitian runs a forum over there and you can ask her. Dr. C

thanks for your input. i really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to be online and answer questions for everyone. i only wish i would have know about you before i had surgery. i you like your a great doc, and i can tell you have a great bedside manner!! jennifer
