Sheila/post-op questions

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,

I did buy my over the counter stuff before I had surgery:

Centrum (Costco) $12 a bottle?

ADEK (cheaper at Costco than from Scandipharm.com)

Citracal (Costco) $12 a bottle?

I later bought DairyCare but have now switched to Pro-Biotics

Acidophilus (14 billion good bacteria per capsule) and am having good

luck with it. It's $20 at drugstore.com or $25 at GNC for 120 capsules

and I take 2 in the AM and one in the afternoon. Blue label on the

bottle, made by Nutrition Now, Inc. Doesn't have to be refrigerated

and it's dairy free. Have thought about getting some of the

refrigerated acidophilus but this kind is so much more convenient. I

keep some in my purse for when I'm out and about, etc.

I had started using the Cal Apatite (microcrystaline hydroxyapatite or

something like that). It's an elemental form of calcium that we absorb

very well and is what Dr. Hess recommends. It's $20 a bottle.

Switched to the Citracal because it's cheaper and easier to find --

Costco carries it.

I highly recommend having the multivitamin, calcium, ADEK and

acidophilus or Dairy Care on hand before you have surgery.

Hope this helps,

Cheryl
