Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi all, Can anyone recommend a basic multi-vitamin that is free of red dye (or better yet free of ALL DYES). As you all know too well, Flintstones are pretty expensive when you have to throw away 1/3 (or more) of the bottle. Lori at Dr. G's looked through her books and could not find ONE name brand basic multi that is free of red dye. She told us that if we could find one at a health food type store that we could send the ingredients and have Dr. G take a look at them. Any ideas? I'd be glad to order them if that was the only way to get them. Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 look up on internet: new beginnings (www.nbnus.com) brainchild nutritionals (www.brainchildnutritionals.com) kirkman labs (www.kirkmanlabs.com) beyond a century (www.nutrition@...) spectrum biogenics klaire labs millennium nutritionals there are soooo many, this is just off the top of my head. these companies specialize in formulating vitamins specific for those on the autistic spectrum (no dyes, fillers, yeast, gluten, etc). i personally like new beginnings and brain child nutritionals. vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks Barb... Whew! What a fast reply! I'll check into those.. our little guy is only ten so I'm not sure if he's big enough yet for the adult size... maybe we could split them, though.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Caroline We use a basic, generic multivitamin. I buy it everywhere. It looks just like One-A-Day vitamins used to look....little red pills. It has a red coating all over it that I wash off, put 1/2 in a gel cap, and that's it. It contains yellow dye, but Dr G told me he was not concerned about the yellow dye. --- In , & Caroline Glover <sfglover@m...> wrote: > Thanks Barb... > > Whew!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 What about Animal Parade? You can get it at GNC, sometimes at Whole Foods. Instead of red dye #40 they use beet juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Schiff makes one called Children's Chewable Daily Wellness with no added sugar, salt, yeast, gluten, milk, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. You can get it at the Vitamin Shoppe. My son takes them with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hi all! I am new to the list. I have never posted but I have been reading for a while all your great advice. I am the mother of a 5 year old boy who is on the waiting list to see Dr. G. The Whole Foods Market store carries a brand of multivitamins for children called " Sea Buddies. " They are free of artificial colorings and preservatives, yeast, gluten, dairies, soy, etc. My son likes them because they have little sea animals on them (sharks, star fish, etc.). We also use the Trader's Joe's multivitamin gummy bears. They are also free of artificial colorings and preservatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 , So glad to meet you!!! I hope you get in to see Dr. G soon, he is wonderful, and I can't say enough good things about him and his practice. Are you in the LA area?? Anyway, good luck.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Joie, Thank you for your warm welcome. No, I am not in the LA area. We live in Massachusetts. I have not found any doctor here who has heard of Dr. G. or knows his protocol. We are currently seeing a DAN practitioner and are starting the CFGF diet and vitamin supplements. Interestingly enough my son's blood work showed taht he has an active herpes simplex infection even if he shows no signs of it. Neither his pediatrician or his doctor know what to make of it. I follow the discussion on the list and the advice that you all share very closely because it is the only way for me to know whether we are on the right track or not. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 , We started with Dr. G a few months ago and the first thing he wanted us to do was to stop the supplements, so this is just a heads up to you! We see a DAN dr. who helps us navigate the supplements and we were seeing nice results from the GFCF diet, vitamins and supplements. We just bit the bullet and stopped all supps except those prescribed by Dr G. So far so good. Maybe if you tell the office that your son has an active herpes virus evidenced by blood work he may be able to see you sooner. It's worth a try. There is a clinic in New York, so that may be a place to look also. Good luck to you and your son! MIchelle At 09:48 AM 6/24/2005, you wrote: >Joie, > >Thank you for your warm welcome.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Odd thing regarding multi-vitamins .... Regardless of whether my multi-vitamin is under, or above, the B6 limit, multi-vitamins ALWAYS make me feel absolutely crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hello all. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is interesting. I just started a multi vitamin a month or so ago. I need the potassium to offset a blood pressure pill I am taking. It has helped with tithe pain I had from the low potassium but I have felt like crap for the last little while and don't know why. It just a general feeling of bla, tired more then usual, grumpy, etc.... I wonder if there is something in the multi, it only has 2mg so I would hope it not that. Now for my question, how much is too much for a child. My 8 year old take a multi and it has 1 mg. She does not complain about anything bugging her but I wonder after reading this if it is having a negative effect. Always something else to worry about.
