My liquid multi has alcohol?



Recommended Posts

It burns a little all the way down. I haven't taken it in 2 days because I have an upset tummy and I shudder at the thought.

So is this bad? I really wouldn't think That (stearyl? ) alcohol would be wise?

Interesting and somewhat surprising. I have no idea if it is good or bad medically but maybe you can avoid it in the future.

I am taking the Wellesse liquid multi-Vitamin which uses Erythritol (I looked after reading your question!). A web search shows that to be a natural sugar alcohol with the least impact on blood sugar. Maybe give it a try once you run out of Centrum.

Where do you get this? I just looked on Amazon and vitacost and don't see it.

They sell via the website but I purchase mine from costco (great prices but very large size). I know they have samples so try for those first. I was able to find the Calcium at Walmart but never found the multi in store locally.

It is sold on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_sc_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Awellesse&keywords=wellesse&ie=UTF8&qid=1363224445

I take 2 Flintstones w/iron. It's easier for me to take because anything else makes me sick. Plus it takes care of Iron and multi Vitamin at once:-)

Looks like that's just calcium and Vitamin d though. I'll call for samples if thy actually have a multi. :)

All of the items they sell are listed there, including the multi. Do inquire about the samples from Wellesse. They came within a week of my request.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
