Iron in Gummy Form?
Other vites are more specialized and I order some, some are available at our local health food stores, others only through Vitalady and Lucky Vitamin online. Lucky is a good source for whey protein or whey protein isolate in bulk. You can get it by the 10# bag, flavored or unflavored.
Prices have skyrocketed for WPI lately, though, but my lactose intolerance requires it, so my DS food bill just went up!
Getting a pill grinder and grinding your vites into a powder (cut them, then grind) and put them into something like applesauce, or even your shake might help get them in.

I was wondering why they recommend both:
Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bites-- carmel, chocolate, lemon, rapsberry--(6 a day for D.S.ers)
Calcet Citrate Creamy bites-- lemon or chocolate--( 4 a day for D.S. ers)
Are they not both Calcium or perhaps I don't know what word Calcet means?
Thanks for the help, Terri

DSer's need dry vites, and if not tolerated well, liquid. Liquid vites for DSer's if the only type used are extremely expensive, just based on the amount we have to take. A 16 oz bottle would last you about 2 1/2 weeks, unless of course you could get it by the half gallon at a reasonable price. I use liquids to supplement dry if I'm combatting a moderate deficiency, but my primary vites are dry tablets and capsules. I cut the tablets and caplets into fourths using a pill splitter, avaialable at any drugstore or Walmart.
I take the capsules first. Dry A and D capsules are very small, and the largest capsule I take is omeprazole, an acid reducer. I take my vites and Creon together (digestive supplement - helps absorption, my doctor prescribed it early out due to some eating issues I was having). It may take a few minutes for you to get them all down, but keep trying. And make sure you get some of those medicine cups like they have at the hosptial;. You can find them on eBay, or at a home health care store near you.

You can get the Vitalady mostly chewable pre-packaged 90 day vites for DSers, I'd go with those as if chewable is an option then it'll be in that bundle. It'll also be in the correct quantities and the right form for us.
I know you already got a 90 day starter pack from Vitalady, but if that's the non chewable ones then you can always use those later once you've sorted out your swallowing problem so they won't go to waste.
You need to sort this out ASAP as you can end up with A LOT of problems if you don't supplement post DS.
