I just compared my bottle of flintstone vitamins (which the label says to only chew 1 tablet for adults) to centrum chewables and there is VERY little difference in the supplement amounts. So I'm curious why they say to take 2 flintstones for adults, and also why (I saw on another thread) that their nutritionist said to trade in their flintstones for a vitamin for grown-ups.

I think it's just personal preference. I like the taste of Centrum more so that's the one I take (just one).

I was told by my doc that the flintstones have iron and the other chewables dont.I will check out centrum.I have a hard time with the taste of flintstones

I take a liquid multi vitamin from whole foods. It's easier and I remember. I hate the grit in chewables.

I thought it might be the iron also, but they both have 18 mg. The only thing I see that is completely different are the last 3 ingredients in centrum which are manganese (50%), chromium(17%), and molybdenum (17%). I've never heard of any of these but I will discuss this again with my doctor next time I see him.

I use the Flintstones Gummies I asked the dietitian and she just told me to take four a day and taste great

I take flinestone's w/ iron. My dietician specifically recommended them. They taste AWFUL, almost like blood... as strange as that sounds.

I have issues with Iron so I take centrum silver which doen't have any. They are a berry citrus flavor and make me pucker and taste nasty :thumbup:, but it is hard to find a multi-vitamin without iron.

you may want to try the viactive chocolate, they come in multivitamin and calcium. I take after meals so its like a little dessert, very little.

I don't take chewables at all mainly because the only ones you can get here are for kids. They don't have a huge range for wls patients here in australia so I take the centrum (non chewable) and have no problem at all. I was taking one called supradyn but straight after surgery it was taking me until 1pm to drink it so I gave up and took the centrum. Eventually though I know I'm going to have to find a chewable or another soluble, especially if I'm too tight in the morning.

I was also told either 2 Centrum or 4 Flinstones a day.

I just found a small vitamin to take. IT is called one a day essentials. IT is no bigger than an aspirin. They just arrived in the mail today (had to order them from amazon.com since no stores seem to carry them). I plan to show them to my nut and doc to see what they say. IF they like them maybe they will either stock them or get a local pharmacy to stock them.

I switch off between several different chewables. My favorite is Trader Joe's Gummy Multivitamin. I really like the taste. It doesn't contain iron.
