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?

I was takin re Viva liquid which is really good. Then all the sudden I cannot tolerate it! Same thing, I was stooped over trying not to hurl. Flinstones here I come. I take viactive for calcium. My NUT said they are fine because I'm not a bypass patient, so the citrate is ok.

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.

I was told Flintstones are easiest for "us" to tolerate. And my doc said to take a calcium citrate supplement. :-)
