Children's chewable ARE NOT what anyone should be taking............ you

need a chewable adult vitamin, or liquid from a vitamin store..........

children's vitamins don't have all the things we need, and don't forget to take

the

B12 dissolve in the mouth kind, calcium, iron all are VERY important to hair,

skin, health............... H.

This is new to me. My doctor says his patients can take Flintstones

chewables with iron. Is this bad advice.

Can someone tell me the kind of chewable vitamins are recommended. I

gagged on liquid vitamins. Too nasty!

Like I mentioned awhile ago, I haven't had the surgery yet - but there

is a Centrum adult chewable multi vitamin that is pretty good. It's the

only one I can stand.

I get mine from this place http://tinyurl.com/zn557 I do a multi

vitamin, calcium citrate (Important to do the citrate version of

calcium), sublingual B-12, & Iron. I get them in capsule form and I

take them with warm water, in the hopes that it helps dissolve the

capsule sooner. I'm almost 2 years out and my labs have been great!!

I feel like this is a better alternative to the children's vites. Not

that they are bad, I just think we get more from adult strength vits.

Hugs!!

Hi,

For what its worth I had my surgery 9/22/03 and was recommended 2

flintstones a day, 4 chewable calcium citrate and B12SL once a week and

drank a smoothie king gladiator in banana mango per day and labs were better

than normal if that's possible.

I just had labs drawn and yet to see the results but I suspect not good -

been having medical problems. I think now plenty companies are jumping on

the WLS bandwagon.

I have heard of this.............. but only in fun when the teachers of the

blue cross classes said that years ago doctors recommended this until it was

found that people were getting sick, having permanent neurological damage

and

actually dying from not taking the proper vitamins. .................
