I tried searching for a coherent answer and couldn't find one. My nutritionist just says not to take my Calcium at the same time as my multi w/ Iron.

I'm taking 2 BariMelt calcium citrates a day which are 50 mg each. They are trash by the way, don't buy them. I'm just finishing the bottle because I hate the idea of spending any more on Vitamins than I already have. I take my first multi w/iron in the AM at Breakfast along with my Ursodiol. At night I take my second dose of each of those.

I've been taking my 2 calcium midday, usually after I eat. Does that sound right? I started out taking one each with my multi AM and PM but my nutritionist says not to do that.

I should add that I'm concerned about taking this correctly because I have celiac disease which predisposes me to bone density issues.

I took my Calcium at lunch and before bed. My multi-vitamin first thing in the morning and when i got home from work.

Space out the two calcium so that your body can absorb it more. Also make sure to keep two hours between the calcium and the vitamin with iron. For me I take my two multi vitamins with iron by 8am, then a b complex a bit later, then about 10:30 I take one calcium. Then at 1:30 I take the second calcium and a biotin. I am almost 11 months out and have had perfect labs at all my post op visits.

@@reree6898 thank you, very helpful! it's ok to take both multis w/iron at once?

I have been fine taking both of mine at once. I do the flintstones complete chewable ones.

I take the Vitamins at night and the calcium in the morning and late afternoon. Does anyone take B1? The ones I have make me gag, pills are large and smelly. I'm thinking of B multi Patches if they have B12 and 1.

I do the same I take my multi and an iron supplement for anemia in AM and the same in PM and my calcium after lunch and before bed, I also take a sublingual B complex in the am, it's not that bad and it's only 1 oz!

I'm on 500mg calcium 3x per day. I take it about 9am, 2, and 7. I take my multi am first thing w/ B12, and pm 2 hours from the calcium. I buy the Bariatric Advantage chewies. Chocolate, Caramel and Raspberry are the best.

Omg I hate my Bari melts so much and can't wait until they are gone/I get to swallow pills again! But guess what the Bariatric Advantage calcium chewable tablets are worse. If I make it to an in person support group meeting I am bringing them to give away because I just can't.

I find it next to impossible to work in more than one calcium tablet right now. I don't feel this is a problem right now and I shared with my team as I do get calcium in 3 Protein shakes/broth per day on top of the one chewable. I have occasionally taken 2 one at lunch; but mostly one near dinner. I take my multi in morning and evening.
