I am actually required to take more than just the Multivitamin, that's why I started this post. I already do my Flintstones every day but need to start doing Iron and Fatty acids, so that's why I started this thread.

I see someone posted there is a liquid fatty acid, anyone know about Iron? Iron is in my Multivitamin, but my surgeon told me I need to take it at seperate times, because he feels it won't get absorbed correctly if I take it with the multivitamin. His choice, not mine!

But yes, my main question is just if there is any chewable iron Vitamins. Thanks for the advice on all the other Vitamins, I am already taking them daily. Just looking for iron chewables if anyone knows they exist.

I have a chewable Iron, but I'm in Australia but for what it's worth they're called "Iron Melts", you may find them.

I buy children's burstlets for fish oil, its the same size and shape of a capsule but flavoured, and the capsule bursts and you can spit it out.

Is this the Iron Melts that you are talking about? Iron Melts

If it is, does it mess with your stomach? My PCP has been trying to get me on iron for years for poor iron, but have been unable to tolerate the iron tablets that I have found here in my area.

If you find the chewable iron, please let me know. I'm having to crush mine and put on a teaspoon with yogurt. Pretty bad tasting honestly but I put up with it.

if anyone is looking for a band frriendly Omega 3 I ended up finding this stuff called Coromega. You squirt it on your tongue. It's not too bad!

      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.

      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.
