Question:
What over the counter Vitamins are good?

Do I have to buy all of this protien drinks/Zinic/B12/supplement stuff? Isn't there a good all purpose vitamin?    — Erin M S. (posted on January 31, 2000)

There are SO many choices! AS many inches of intestine as you have are as many different variations of surgery as there are. Your doctor or your lab work will customize your supplements needs to your particular surgery and your particular needs. You want to buy the most economical and best supplements for YOU. What works over here might not work for you. The most expensive may be way more than you need. Some prefer to chew everything, some prefer to swallow. You can talk to me and perhaps I can take a bit of the confusion out of the mix for you?

My physician just advised that I take 2-3 chewable childrens vitamins daily. I take Flintstone with Iron. I had problems in the beginning with hair loss related to my protein intake so i just made sure to try to take in more in my diet. I am not sure about the other supplements and vitamins needed. I was only advised of the above.
