Gummy multivitamin?



Recommended Posts

I tried three different Multivitamins, one capsule and two tablets. I keep vomiting. I figured out that I need to take Iron by itself because the slow-release version doesn’t make me sick. So I need an iron-free Multivitamin. Surgeon suggested gummies.

When I checked the labels of gummies, they all contain added sugars (2-3 grams). The nutritionist said no added sugars, though.

Does anyone take a gummies multivitamin, with no added sugar, and no iron?

If so, what brand, and how does it taste? Thanks!

My surgeon recommended Flintstones Complete. Had surgery on March 1, 2021 and so far no issues. I was also told no gummies.

I was also told no gummies.

Centrum Silver (and the generic equivalents) don't contain Iron.

I was told absolutely no gummies as well. I take the ProCare Bariatric chewable formula with Iron. It's never upset my stomach. However a friend had an issue with the iron in it upsetting her stomach so she started taking it at night before bed. It worked for her.

I was told no gummies as well. Your clinic may have samples. Bariatric Advantage had sample packs I received one at the nutritionist appointment but the clinic recommended them as well. Now that I think of it I believe the sample was a chewable that contained Iron though. It was the calcium citrate chew, the multivitamin chewable and something else (it may have been the one without iron I can’t recall). But most importantly, double check that you didn’t misunderstand the gummies suggestion.

      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. 😫
