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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
