Flintstones with Iron? Multiviamin?



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 9 post op and I've been taking 2 Flinstones with added Iron for a Multivitamin. I was taking Centrum chewables but stopped post op after I got home because I'm currently having to take; Augmentin, Hydrocodone, sublingual B complex, sublingual D, Protonix, plus my multivitamin Every Day! The centrum chewable I was taking did not have added iron and I had to chew 4 gumball size chewables a day. I started takin the Flinstones because they have the added iron and I only need to take 2 a day and they are small. Someone told me it's BAD!!!! :( What should I take for a multi?

I can't speak to what's better or worse, but Flintstones with Iron are on the list of approved Vitamins my surgeon gave me. I'll be watching the responses you get - the size, taste and price are right , but I wasn't sure either. :)

My surgeon suggested the Flintstones complete- which is what I take. As long as it's ok with your doc, it's good.

I was going crazy looking for a Vitamin with added Iron yesterday I never thought about the Flinstones. My doctor told me I could take any chewable ones for now that I'm pre op and keep on for two post op weeks then start the biatric vitamin which he said I could purchase there at the office.

The bariatric and Centrum chewables made me sick so my doctor suggested Flintstones Complete which I can handle. I only take 1 per day.

My Doctor and Nutritionist told me 2 Flintstones Complete from now on. That's the only type of Multi-Vitamin that they recommend.

I look forward to my Vitamins because they are really the only things that don't cause much hernia chest pain and actually taste good to me.

Currently only cleared to take B12, Calcium and multis -- soon will add d3, Biotin and b complex

The adora chocolate Calicum disks are a real treat 2x a day -- picked them up at Vitamin Shoppe. Flintstones complete chews are cheapest on Amazon (two 150ct bottles for $26 total and I can share them with my 8yr old niece when she sleeps over)

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
