All,

Besides the following vitamins/supplements what else are you taking and why?

B-12
B Complex
Calcium
Multi-Vitamin
Vitamin D (I take because I am defficient)

You taking any others?

Let me know.

I will soon be adding the ProBiotics when they arrive at my doorstep.

I did get my D levels within range. It is 36 now. Was 26 before I believe. Nurse said to keep taking it. Since the range is 32 to 100 I may increase it to get more in the middle of the range.

Chewable centrum vits twice a day, 500 mg of calcium citrate 3 times a day, probiotics daily, vit D, B 12 sublingual suspension.  I take generic benefiber as needed and miralax as needed. 

Also started on devrom for the smelly gas, I feel bad for folks that need to be around me at work.  Foul odors happen to the foods I eat.  sorry if tmi.  The devrom seems to be helping, forgot it for a couple of days and the odor was back.

Is devrom over the counter? or RX? I sure could use some..lol. You'll probably be forcing me to take it when i get there..heheheeee... it won't seem that funny to you! lol.  That bariatric butt-ease is a killer!

Kevin, my iron levels are good too, but still take it every day, I don't want to give it a chance to get low on me and end up going through iron infusions.. blahhhh..
Aside from that, I take what you have posted above and do intend to begin taking the Probiotics as well, in addition to what I get in my yogurt. They are supposed to be beneficial in promoting intestinal health and since we have part of ours eliminated, gotta keep what we do have left in good shape!

Can you take too much iron?
Should I start that as well?
If I do I know I have to take it with vitamin-c, but keep separate from some other supplement. Do you know what that is?
