PeaceLove&Tash 27 Posted September 17, 2012 SO....I have not been the best patient when it comes to my Vitamins. I started with the Vitaban in berry and they let me try one while I was in the office, I should have steered away then. I have tortured myself with these vitamins. Every time I take them it never fails I am stooped over ready to vomit! I have never actually vomited since surgery, but this is the worst feeling in the world. I switched to 2 childrens Flinstones per day. WELLL I just looked and they only have 200mg of Calcium for two tablets? Whereas vitaban has 600 for 2 tablets, my NUT said I need a supplement of calcium anyway so I bought some tums with calcium, as approved by her. Does anyone know a good substitute for the vitaban? I like having the Biotin and other vitamins higher like in the vitaban, i just cant stomach them! Any others with these issues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My NUT said they are fine because I'm not a bypass patient, so the citrate is ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinka504 46 Posted September 18, 2012 I take the Solotron Vitamin from GNC, It’s a Multivitamin, along with calcium citrate chewable. I also take some extra Biotin, along with a sublingual b-12. Per my NUT. No bend over wanna puke or anything. They taste ok, could be worse, but not vomit worthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robynluevano 85 Posted September 18, 2012 I was told Flintstones are easiest for "us" to tolerate. And my doc said to take a calcium citrate supplement. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
