Sleevie WonderLand 41 Posted July 26, 2011 I hate taking pills. They always seem to feel like they are stuck between my esophagus and my stomach, especially Vitamins and supplemental pills. I was told by my nutritionist that I need to take Vitamin D, Calcium and Iron supplements. Booo. Hisss. Why me? My Nut had me order some Vitamin D tabs from a website called Biotech. My Vit D is low, she said these are the best supps for me to take to get my levels up in the shortest amount of time. Bleh. I’ve suffered from Iron deficiency for quite some time now and I hate taking iron supplements because of the Constipation and the nausea that always comes with it. Lucky me I have to take iron AND stupid Calcium which will probably increase my discomfort. When I tell you I HATE taking pills believe me. I almost don’t wanna go through with the surgery just so I wouldn’t have to take these pills. *sigh* Guess I need to start eating foods rich in these nutrients so I wont have to deal with this crap for the rest of my life. Why cant they make all Vitamins taste like Gummy bears or like rocky road ice cream? I’d probably grow an extra foot because I’d end up overdosing on vitamins if they did taste like rocky road. smh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maraki 1 Posted July 26, 2011 I hate pills too. I get nauseous. Try the chewy stuff or liquid ones. I take a liquid multi-vit. 0 calories-0 carbs. Bought it at costco.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleSue 25 Posted July 26, 2011 Well My dear, we don't want you messing up that face with an extra foot growing out of your forehead! OK, so I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but me thinks we will be taking them always no matter how well we eat. So, you need to find something you can handle. Hopefully your Nut told you not to take the Iron and the Calcium together. I take Ferrous Gluconate because it's fairly easily absorbed into your bod and I take it with dinner because it works best in an acidic environment AND I get sleep through most side affects (I actually haven't had any). I'm not sure that liver is really something ANY good cook can doctor for you unless you are predisposed to liking it in the first place. That's about the most Iron rich food their is.

Sleevie WonderLand 41 Posted July 26, 2011 My nut didnt tell me jack except that I need to take those supplements to get my levels up. She did tell me to take the Calcium twice a day as our bodies only absorb a certain amount at a time. No mention of not taking the Iron with the calcium. That heffa tried to set me up! I have millions of bottles of Multivitamins. I KNOW I need to take them, but once they make me feel sick, I throw them in the back of the bathroom cabinet. I think I'm gonna have to just suck it up like Sue said. WHy cant they invent a patch or something? Yeah, I know...I'm always lookin for the easy way out...
