Need Chewable Vitamin Suggestions

Hi! I am looking for good tasting, chewable vitamins.  I don't seem to be able to tolerate pill form at all... I currently take Flinstones Complete w/ Iron (2/day) and Citrical creamy bites (3/day) but the citrical creamy bites are discontinued and I need a better MVI or a chewable iron.  I am developing iron deficiency (low ferritin), dropping Vit D (although not deficient yet).  I get horrible pain and nausea/vomiting when I try to take the pill form of anything...it just sets in my pouch for hours.  (I am almost 1 yr out and likely had a stricture that has opened up enough for foods well chewed.)

I used an adult multi-vitamin rather than something designed for a child.  Chewable Adult Centrum.  I buy mine at Wal-Mart and they are about $10/100ct.  I've heard CVS has them on sale often too. For Calcium I use the Creamy Bites -- while my supply lasts anyway.  But also the UpCalD.  It's a powdered calcium citrate plus Vit D and its so easy to take.  I buy it on Amazon.com for $10.95 for a 16oz can which is 227 servings.  I have links posted on my profile if you're interested. I don't take Iron, so don't have a suggestion on a chewable.  But I seem to remember people saying they get chewables at GNC. Good luck, Pam

I use a liquid vitamin because I hate swallowing so many pills. It's noted on my profile page. Tastes good too, like an orange punch.  Minimal iron it it though, but lots of B vitamins.  Be sure to take your iron and calcium citrate at least an hour apart. If taken together the iron bonds to the calcium citrate, negating how effective it can be.
