Do we have any healthcare providers who can give input on vitamins?

We seem to have a variety of input on the vitamin questions. I am four months post op and just wondering if there are any healthcare providers on this site who can try to clarify for us. Obviously I'm doing what my dr has suggested, but I've noticed that it goes completely against what the next person's dr has said. For example, I have been told to go ahead and take all of my pills and vitamins together, and it has been suggested that I take them with milk (I use fat free chocolate) I take a multi vitamin, iron pills, and tums, plus meds. My dr has never said that iron needs to be taken alone, and with vitamin c, that tums don't absorb, that ferrous sulfate doesn't absorb etc....and my routine has been ok'd along with what I actually take by both my PCP and surgeon. Any input??
