Chewable vitamin and dumping



Recommended Posts

So the I am 6 days post op and per my doctors orders I started taking a chewable Vitamin A few days ago. Each night almost immediately after I would eat it, I would get this sensation of feeling ill and would it would take about 30 minutes to go away. After the 3rd day I figured this was a small dumping session, but didn't know what it was from. So I checked the ingredients on my chewable multi-vit and the first ingredient is SUGAR. I am taking the Flintstones Complete chewable, but now I need to find another that does not have any sugar.

Does anyone know of alternatives? My doctors specifics are it must be chewable, it cannot be a Gummy and it must contain a full range of Vitamins and minerals.

Thanks for you help!

I use Centrum chewables but I can't remember now if I ever checked the Sugar level. They are orange flavored which I love!

At the present time I am using Kroger's Children's chewable Complete (which is suppose to be the equivalent for Flintstones Complete). It is cheaper than Flintstones but I find it has a chalkier tastes. It uses Aspartame as a sweetener, not sugar.

Hi!! I can tell you what my Dr/Clinic recommends; they advise you go with a high quality, bariatric specific complete line of Vitamins and minerals. Your Vitamin and mineral supplements are absolutely essential for the rest of your life. Not getting the proper amount and ratios of vitamins can cause serious and permanent damage to your nervous system and other organs.

Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate VITAMINS are just two top companies that specialize in bariatric science/nutrition. There are a few more out there that are also very good for bariatric supplements.< /p>

Please research carefully, and have your Nutritionist give you a print out of what you need specifically for each vitamin/mineral-if you don't already have them. Hope your issue gets better and I really hope you find and get on the best quality supplements to ensure you health and safety!!

Feel better ????, and take excellent care of yourself. After all, you didn't come this far to feel bad or not be healthy!!

My doctor advises I take bariatric specific vitamins and minerals as well. I use BariMelts brand because the Bariatric Advantage multiple was really too big to chew and I had to cut it up before I could eat it. BariMelts multiple tastes a whole lot better too and BariMelts are made so they are soft enough to just melt in your mouth but I chew them up. The BariMelts brand is a top company specializing in Bariatric nutrition. I was so glad I found them. I also use BariMelts Vitamin D, Calcium and B12.

Definitely go with a bariatric specific formula. I'm using optisource as it is a truly complete Multivitamin. It has all the Iron, Calcium, Vitamin C & d, folate, B12, etc. All in chewable tablets.

My de advises high quality bariatric Vitamins as well. Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage, etc. I take opurity by Unjury. I like it because it is one a day (most others are 2). When you use bariatric victims it covers it all. No extra Vitamin b needed. Only other vitamin you have to take is calcium citrate.< /p>

I never have had that issue with Flintstones. I used to take the Kroger brand and they caused me to have super bad dry mouth, so now I splurge for the real thing.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
