Allergic To Flinstones Vitamins

[purpleamy 7]

Please help. My 3 a day Flinstones are making me sick to my stomach and my skin is itchy all over with Patches. Any suggestions on alternative Vitamin sources. Went to dermatologist and told me I had "contact dermatitis " most likely from the vites. Please help. Need suggestions on what you all do for Vitamins. Thank you!

I take the equate chewables for kids 2x a day. They are comparable to Flinstones but may have a different active ingredient. Not sure what in them would be making you itch... Maybe try the gummy vitamins :/ that does suck though. My Vitamins to make my tummy hurt sometimes too.

Equate ... Is that the Target brand? I remember seeing those somewhere.

I was told by my surgeon that the Flintstone Vitamins are not sufficient. I take Celebrate brand Multivitamins, Iron and Calcium. They taste kinda like sweet tarts and work well with my pouch.

Equate is Walmart brand

Puritan pride.com the have adult multi gummies with Fiber 3 bottles for $7. That's what I take and they go down great

Please make sure the gummies have Iron. I chose 1 that did not and had to take iron supplements to boost. I recently found a woman's 1 a day petite that I can handle.

I believe I went to celebratevitamins.com, however I ended up ordering from dietdirect.com because I could order a 1 month supply of the Multivitamin, Iron, and Calcium (all taste like different flavors of sweet tarts) for a little better than $49 and that got me free shipping. Direct from the Celebrste site I would have had to spend over $100 to get free shipping and I only wanted a 1 month supply to try to start. It ended up saving me about $12.95 in shipping and I ended up loving the Vitamins and they work well with my pouch. They aren't the cheapest, but I honestly believe you get what you pay for.

Thank you for everyone's input! Truly appreciated.

I take the old fashioned one a day multiples. The little round red pill, and also B complex and Calcium.< /p>

I just tried Centrum chewables (adult). Way better tasting than Flinstones. Stomach was agreeable and Centrum actually has more Vitamins and minerals than Flinstones. Yay !!!!!

I am struggling with finding a Vitamin I can tolerate! All chewables are nasty (tried lots of different kinds) so I went to Vitamin World this weekend & found a liquid vitamin. It is so AWFUL tasting & my stomach is killing me since i drank it! And i spent $23.00 on one bottle! I may try the Celebrate chewables or one that can just be swallowed when I get to 3 months out.
