I use the Centrum chewables (which have iron). You should be able to get fatty acids in liquid form at your local health food/whole foods store.

I am actually required to take more than just the Multivitamin, that's why I started this post. I already do my Flintstones every day but need to start doing Iron and Fatty acids, so that's why I started this thread.

I see someone posted there is a liquid fatty acid, anyone know about iron? Iron is in my multivitamin, but my surgeon told me I need to take it at seperate times, because he feels it won't get absorbed correctly if I take it with the multivitamin. His choice, not mine!

But yes, my main question is just if there is any chewable iron Vitamins. Thanks for the advice on all the other vitamins, I am already taking them daily. Just looking for iron chewables if anyone knows they exist.

I have a chewable Iron, but I'm in Australia but for what it's worth they're called "Iron Melts", you may find them.

I buy children's burstlets for fish oil, its the same size and shape of a capsule but flavoured, and the capsule bursts and you can spit it out.

Is this the Iron Melts that you are talking about? Iron Melts

If it is, does it mess with your stomach? My PCP has been trying to get me on iron for years for poor iron, but have been unable to tolerate the iron tablets that I have found here in my area.

I use the chewable vitamins and a chewable iron from Bariatric Advantage.

Before surgery I had to take these really large red iron pills but I did not want to crush them up - so I bought them at Bariatric advantage online.

If you find the chewable iron, please let me know. I'm having to crush mine and put on a teaspoon with yogurt. Pretty bad tasting honestly but I put up with it.

There is so many information on these sites, but in terms of a chewable Iron there was some that I tasted that was actually pretty good, but I know everyone has different taste buds, but go to this link and check it out its worth looking into.

Bariatric Advantage - Iron=

if anyone is looking for a band frriendly omega 3 I ended up finding this stuff called Coromega. You squirt it on your tongue. It's not too bad!
