How many Flintstone vitamins?

[Beautiful Mess 21]

Hey there! I need some suggestions. I was given the Bariatriac Advantage Multivitamins and they come up quicker than they go down. My doctor said I could take the flinstone Vitamins instead but I'm not sure how many to take daily. I've read that some people take 1, others take 2.

I could not tolerate the Bariatric Advantage horse pills. I tried crushing them and putting it in shakes, applesauce, oatmeal - maybe a dozen different things, and it kept coming back to haunt me. I tried cutting them in fourths, but could not swallow the sharp edges. I was given the OK for Flintstones chewables with Iron and I take two a day, but not close to when I take my Calcium. When I had my one year labs in January, my nutrient values were better than fine.

I don't know US brands but I Assume Flintstones are for children? Your docs have said OK but do be aware many nutritionists don't! The problem is that doubling up for an adult dose can give you too much of some things like Vit A and that can actually be harmful.

You need to read the labels of recommended adult Vitamins to find the recommended adult dose and then compare to the Flintstones. When I did that with a UK children's tablet I found some vits wouid have needed two tabs, some more than two and some less than two. And some things weren't there at all!

I had a RNY and the Vitamin requirements may be different that those who undergo a sleeve. I was directed to take 3 Flintstone multivitamins a day. I have heard that those requirements have been revised down within the last year. The current requirement is 2.

I am on 2 Flintstones a day, and since I actually like them ( a kid at heart?) I asked if I could be on them forever and my dietician said that would be fine.

Per surgeon recommendation, I take 2 Flintstones a day, 2 Calcium chewables and 3 Vit B6 disolvable pills.< /p>

Anyone take the Flintstone Vitamins whole? I know they are chewable, but I do not like them and the flavor seems to linger in the mouth. (I never had so much trouble with taking stuff before WLS. )

Are the Flintstone Vitamins like Gummy bears, or are they just chewable? I can't swallow the horse pills either, but there are signs around my Bariatric pratice that say any of the gummy bear vitamins aren't effective.

You can actually get either kind. I do the chewable since i don't like gummy bears. But I do know they come in that form as well.

I'm doing the chewables. I tolerate them well (thank goodness)!
