Vitamins

[Guest guest]

You won't be able to take a capsule if you get good restriction I don't believe. Although a good banded buddy of mine can still take huge vitamins without a problem. I still can't figure that out. I was told anything bigger then a pea in size should be split or crushed.

Hi Group,

I was banded 8/17 and have not had a fill yet. I have been taking a vitamin from GNC that I really like in capsule form. Is anyone able to take capules after fills? If not, what is the best one to take. I firmly believe in them and don't want to stop taking vitamins. The liquid ones that I have tried, well, let's just say that they tasted like s**t and I can barely tolerate them. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

==>The vitamins I checked out contain soy, which is very damaging to

anyone's health - see articles in the Links and also my article which

has a section about the damage soybean based foods, additives, oils,

etc. have on health. They also contain derivatives from whole foods

such as grains, nuts and seeds - all of which must be properly prepared

prior to consumption so they do not damage your intestines nor block

digestio of minerals and protein - this is also discussed in my

article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida. "

==>Therefore, I would say No to these vitamins and minerals. See my

article for a description of what to avoid when buying supplements,

i.e. sugar-free, yeast-free, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, etc.

Here is Canada I buy Quest, Swiss and Natural Factors - there should be

similar quality supplements available at your local health store as

well.

==>Phyto means " plant, " which simply means the supplements are derived

from plants. Unfortunately the products sold at this site contain

damaging plants such as soy, grains, nuts and seeds, which have not

been fermented or prepared properly prior to processing.

, maybe post a message with a good subject line, i.e. " Brand of

Supplements others take? " I haven't had time to assemble information

on all of the best brands of supplements available.

I hope that helps you .

The best in health, Bee

Hi ,

No problem. I happen to like the Nutrina and NOW Foods brands of

vitamins when I buy them. But I've been trying to get my vitamins from

fresh foods mostly. Lots of veggies which have been in season here and I

can get them just-picked.

I know the acarola cherry has the highest content of vitamin C of any

plant. I believe bell peppers also rank very high. The best vitamin C

tablets I have used seem to get it from the acerola cherries.

I don't know much about acerola; I have never seen them on sale in

grocery stores and I don't know if they are OK on the candida diet. They

may be very tart and have very little sugar in them. Time for some

research!

Debby,

I've been taking (chewing) the VIACTIVE multi vitamins since my

surgery. They're a great source of vitamins and calcium and the

bonus is - they're chocolate!!!

I got mine at Walgreens on sale for $5.99 for 60 softchews.

Liz

PS: I Have a bottle of Centrum liquid vitamins that I haven't opened

yet. After reading your comments, I'm not sure I will! (LOL)

Hi ,

I think I and the other moderators and Bee generally give some latitude to

new members. I was just telling someone on another group I'm on that

I am a moderator on 3 and the owner of one. We get a lot of

what I call " hit-and-run spammers " who sign up for the group, post their

spam and then unsubscribe. But the spam they all post seems to follow a

certain format and when I don't see that format, I have to assume someone

is just trying to be helpful. I myself had the idea you were legitimately

trying to find out if their products were OK.

Of course, posting a message advertising hair tonic on an amateur radio or

electronics newsgroup is highly suspicious!

Liz,

Thanks! That's a great idea. I didn't think of chewables! And don't waste your time opening that bottle of Centrum...YUCK! LOL.

[Guest guest]

Bee, thanks so much! I forgot all about the grains, seeds and such.

Will try to do better on my subjects!

[Guest guest]

Zack,

Thanks for the info. Will check it out. I am trying to eat the

seasonal veggies too but with all I hear about soil depletion and

genetic engineering I feel I should supplement too. Lucky you to be

able to get just picked! yum!

[Guest guest]

Zack,

That's exactly what I was doing...just wanted a wiser pair of eyes to

look. Bee pointed out there are grains, seeds, soy etc. in these

supplements so I'm glad I did post and didn't waste my money.

Hate to keep repeating myself but you guys are so great!!! I've been

dealing (and feeling alone) with my illness for 11 years. To find

hope and such loving support has been like a miracle to me!

Bless you,

Hi

Are you a Candida sufferer, or just here to sell some products

" could someone please look at this site with me " sounds like sales

talk.

Just thought I'd ask before I spend time replying.

I would think if it is an actual "capsule" where it is tiny little time release pellets inside a gelatin capsule, it would be fine...as the outer capsule dissolves and the drug is released a little at a time as the inside pellets dissolve. However, if you are talking about a "caplet" which is a biga$$ vitamin tablet, I would think it would need to be broken down and swallowed in small pieces. I take 2 types of meds that are in capsules, and as far as I know, I will have to continue taking them after my surgery...but my PCP seemed to think they would be fine...BIG HUGS, AND GOD'S BLESSINGSDawnita May"before" photos at: http://dawnita1961.myphotoalbum.com/

I take some great vitamins that I order online from

want to check it out. They're chewable and taste great!

vitamins

I went to walmart today to restock up on the vitamins Dr Rutledge and

the manual recommend we take. The one source high potency vitamins and

they are either being discontinued or phased out and coming back under a

different label. No one in the store could tell me. So I got a lesser

One source since I am completely out of vitamins. The next closest

walmart is 75 miles or more away.

So does anyone from CLOS recommend a back up? Will Doctor Rutledge see

this and respond??? What about you other post ops? What vitamins have

you all had success with? Preop I used lessmans vitamins. High

quality vitamins. but If I am malabsorbing and need to take 3 or 4 times

more then a normal person that could be pricey for his vitamins.

Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I use the BJs or Costco house brands. they are both USP-verifed (which is

very important, in my opinion) and a huge bottle is a reasonable price.

They have worked well for me; my recent labwork came back absolutely

perfect. I think the Walmart brand was chosed simply b/c it was accessible

and cheap. Don't buy vitamins w/out the USP-verfied symbol.

I too have found that 's seizures increase with vitamin consumption. Is

it the vitamins themselves or an additive that triggers the seizures? Does

anyone know a good brand of vitamins to use?

It is a free sample + $15.00 shipping and handling for Body Balance...not

free after all!

Take pill form vitamins and get 10-20% absorption according to the physicians

desk reference, or go for liquid which is absorbed at a rate of 98 % immediately

to the cells where you want the nutrition to go! For a free quart go to

http://tinyurl.com/b4ulr to hear testimonials go to www.lfistories.com and to

learn more about the best liquid vitamins, minerals, amino acids, aloe vera go

Yes it is FREE! Life Force does not charge one red cent for their product!

This then would be free! UPS would then ship it to you, and UPS's charge is

$7.95 . UPS charges for delivery, and Life Force charges nothing for their $29

retail value quart, not a " sample " bottle! When Life Force does not charge

anything, and does not receive any money for their FREE quart they give away it

would then be called FREE! Any questions?

Hi tracy:

I know that calcium and flax seed increase my seizures. Also anything that is

a stimulant like ginseng. Or anything that contains caffeine. So read your

labels.

Good luck!
