Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Sue and Ceep....I don't have any miracles for you, but maybe a bit of good news? Centrum now makes a chewable for adults. It's orange flavor, kinda creamy, more like a dreamsicle taste. Not bad and probably more suitable for us...tastes better to me than Fred or Bugs Bunny ever did.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Nope, they don't smell like Flintstones. I won't promise you they smell like oranges either, but they don't smell bad. I got mine at Walmart. And so far, it's the only place I've seen them.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Ceep, After about 6 months of chewing the heads off Fred and Barney, the thought of chewables just nauseated me. At that time my surgeon said it was ok to take a multivitamin with iron and minerals. Since then I've been taking 2 Walgreen's multivits or Centrum A-Z if it's on sale. No problem in the " normal " vitamin department. I do like the idea of a good tasting chewable. While they are at it....how about a coffee or chocolate flavored barium...or that crap they give us for a CT scan. Make that taste like Choc Whey stack!! I'd be all over that! Sue okay to take centrum a-z??? is it ok to take " centrum a-z " as the daily multi vit? I mean, do those tabs dissolve properly for an RNY? and not like just stick around in chuncks in intestine? or lay in pouch undisolved? I wish somebody would make some good-tasting chewables. Cherry, for instance. Grape blag-p-tooie, citrus, blag-ewww. (grin) Or, wait, you know like those flavored jelly beans-- mmmm, buttered popcorn, mmmmm spearmint, mmmmm coconut, well maybe not coconut, but cocoa, now there's the ticket. mmmmm dark dutch chocolate vits..... mmmmmm okay enough of that (grin) love, ceep Homepage: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Graduate-OSSG Unsubscribe: mailto:Graduate-OSSG-unsubscribe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 I take the mega-multivitamin from GNC. It's loaded with what we need and comes in a powdered capsule, so dissolves very quickly. Of course the multi is not enough for us, but it's a good start to the day! Dianne B.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Thanks Michele, appreciate the info; Just wanted to say that, erg, Like DONT TRY THIS AT HOME. Sue shot me an email about 'melting' the vit tab in a glass of water to see how long it took to dissolve. Okay, centrum a-z takes a couple minutes to dissolve. I look in cup. there is it all grainy like pink sand at the bottom. Great. Fine. half hour later, i take great big HONKING drink out of same glass accidentally (It is one of those big opaque 16 oz plastic cups) Oh man ! Double p-tooie! Centrum a-z I can tell you honestly tastes worse than 3 day old road kill left in the hot sun and run over by 18 wheelers that have been driving through the dump.
