vitamin help
I need some vitamin suggestions. Ive been taking bariatric advantage chewables and I just cant do it. The multi tastes terrible to me and the calcium... goodness takes me 20 minutes to finish. I'm much better at taking pills, however, small ones. Any suggestions for me???
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer 29:11
None from me...I stick to the chewables b/c I know about how we malabsorb. I just suffer thru them every day. I take the ones from bariatric advantage! Good luck and I am eager to see other responses!

I take the Calcium Citracal Petities and an off the shelf multi vitamin and iron. I do the B-12 shots. The calcium petites are a bit smaller but you have to take 6 instead of 4 for a 1200mg dose. The multi vit and iron are both small pills. I too can't stand the chewables and switched just as soon as I could swallow them. About the only thing I have to be careful about is how many pills I swallow at one time. I will get an upste tummy if I try to do more than 3 or so.

Walgreens has their on brand-name multivitamin that is small and round, brown bottle, silver lable red and black writing. I struggled with the chewables at the begining too and these worked for me. I'd still be using them but had to go to a prenatal-multi with more iron.
The Calcium citrates, I just cut them up until I could swallow them whole after about 6 months. Hope that helps.
