Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I am looking for recc's for a Dr. G- approved multivitamin that covers all minerals and nutrients, contains no artificial colors and no artificial sweeteners (like Aspartame). I know Dr. G has mentioned the Flintstones-type vitamins but they're loaded with colors and Aspartame which my son does not do well with. Some of them have gluten, too. He also told us to try Poly-Vi-Sol but it seems so incomplete- no minerals and only like 5 or 6 vitamins. My son is on a very limited diet and I know there's no way he is getting all he needs from food nutrient-wise. I also can't use anything with food-based flavorings (such as " natural orange flavor " ) since reacts to everything on the food screen. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 You might try Twin Lab or Solgar. Solgar, btw, (i *think*) will make a custom formula. http://www.twinlab.com http://www.solgar.com Take care, Cyn __________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Thanks, ... Does Dr. G. approve of these, do you know? I just want to make him happy so that every time our eosinophils go up he can't blame it on our diet or vitamins, LOL. Thanks, Becky Re: multivitamins > You might try Twin Lab or Solgar.

We have taken our vitamins to the appt to show him for his advice and recommendations. But then we're local, so that's a lot easier. If I recall correclty, the larger, well-known and established companies are those he prefers in re: mulit-vites. You might check out some at both of those companies and fax the ingredients and ask for advice.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I just spoke to Dr. G in recent phone consult. He ask us immediately stop Gummy Bear Vitamin, and not to use Kirkman after I told him there is 200% of B vitamins in. However, I will keep use half dose of Kirkmans everyday vitamin since it is hypo allergic. 's body can also take it. I will leave out Gummy bear vitamin for now. It is one thing afraid of immune reactions. Without vitamins, there going to be other issues that I have to deal with. is also a extremely picky eater.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I spoke with dr. g today and he said not to use the vitabears by melaeuca co. He did say we could start Theragram m for my 12 y.o. and a one a day for my 10 year old, who is heavier. Thought you'd want to know.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 LOL Of course we're using the Gummi Bears right now. Did he say what he doesn't like about them? I wish he could prescribe a good, hypoallergenic, complete multivitamin and clear up all this confusion. I'm tired of wasting money on vitamins that he says are no good. I refuse to give all the garbage in Flintstones and the Polyvisol just seems incomplete (but what do I know) Becky Re: Re: multivitamins > I spoke with dr. g today and he said not to use the > vitabears by melaeuca co.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I asked about multivitamins in my last update to Dr. G and when Adrienne called to respond with his instructions she said to give him one " Poly Vi Flor " per day instead of Poly Vi Sol.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Basically, Dr. G said gummy bear contain a lot of stuff that causes allergy, He want us to stop it right away. I use it to complement kirkman's. If I give him one kirkman everyday, he will get enough of B vitamin, but not enough of every thing else. However, I feel as long as I stay with one (half of dose) kirkman's everyday, he will be fine. I gave him MVteen before, he had stomach ach every time he takes it.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Barb, Thanks. I just took looked at Theragram M, it does look very good. If use the bristol Myers brand, it looks like most likly, it look like as hypoallergic as it can get. How ever, It high dose of Vitamin A (5000), and almost double dose of Vitamine B. If Dr. G think it is OK too use, then I can not see any reason that not to use kirkman's everyday vitamin. With kirkman's, I can just use half dose of recommand amount (one capsule), I can add in some Vitamin A if I have to, but I prefer going low on Vitamin A, is 67 LBs, and skiny. He had a two broken bones when in a year five years ago. So I prefer go low on Vitamin A. I included the links may be helpful. Please note Kirkman used two capsule. Dr. G was OK with Kirkman's until I told him it has 200% of B vitamin in 2 capsules. http://www.performancelabs.com/Products/Vitalert_Page/compare2.html http://www.pharmanex.com/corp/product/lpchallenge/bristol_myers.shtml http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/products/multivitamins/everyday/everyday054 ..html Just my thought.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Donna, Poly-Vi-Flor is a multivitamin prescribed by your regular pediatrician. The generic name for it is Multi-Vit-FL 0.25mg or 0.50 mg. Dr. Goldberg tols us to give it to our son, he was against the Super Nuthera we had been giving him from Kirkman lab. (This is a multi vitamin and fluoride supplement). Argie Re: Re: multivitamins I asked about multivitamins in my last update to Dr. G and when Adrienne called to respond with his instructions she said to give him one " Poly Vi Flor " per day instead of Poly Vi Sol.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 He felt they were or could be impure and cause immunity problems. He said to stick to the big name brands. He also did not want my boys on anything for the first year.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 I intend to fax the label ingredients of the vitamins he rec'd before I actually give them to the boys, to dr. g. for his final approval. I will feel safer that way. My son is 62 lbs. on good days and 12 1/2 years old. Barb --- jinyang061629 <yanglou@...> wrote: > Barb, > Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Why does Dr. " G " not recommended Kirkmans brand of vitamins? Thanks " C " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 My impression is that Dr G. is quite OK with Kerkman every day vitamin. It got in trouble when I mention the %200 of B vitamins and the small amount of Taurine and etc. Think of it, the amount of Amino Acid is very small, and 1 capsule of the every day vitamin will work out for B vitamins. That is what I am doing now. Jin > Why does Dr. " G " not recommended Kirkmans brand of vitamins? > > Thanks > > " C " > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I was told about Bright Child vitamins. They are all natural. I am going to look for them online shortly. If you find them please post where you found them. Thanks Yvette [ ] multivitamins I am wondering what good brand of multivitamins are being used by members here. I'm looking for a complete vitamin/mineral without all the added colors, etc. and a reasonable price would be nice too! Thanks. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 New Chapter Brand Vitamins are excellent. They are food based. However, pretty expensive.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi Beth, Check out Kirkman's website. MY son takes the Everyday multi . It's a capsule , so I just open it a put it directly into his milk and he doesn't even know the difference. I do the same with Vit C. They are all gluten, casein free, no yeast, added flavoring or anything artificial.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi, Bright Child Vitamins are available @ Whole Foods. My son was taking them but then started to refuse them. It was liquid a orange/mango flavor which he did not like. He is now taking a powder which I mix into his Almond milk. Sooo much easier.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I would also recommend Kirkman's chewable.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 We use the Juice Plus Chewables (they also have gummies, and we've tried both but she prefers the chewables, and they don't have corn syrup like the gummies do). I like them because they are completely food based. But they are fairly expensive. No added colors or anything, and I think the food based ones are more absorbable. > > > > Beth Schoeller <schoeller7@> wrote: > > I am wondering what good brand of multivitamins are being > used by members here.
