Glenda,

I take mine all at one time too (at about 6 in the am). Should I be spacing

them throughout the day?

Hi Tarri:

I believe in Dr. R's manual and discharge instructions it says to take 1

vitamin 3 x a day. That is the way I have taken mine from the beginning. I

know what you mean about feeling like you have eaten a meal after taking the

horse pills. Try eating after taking a vitamin, an Actigall, Fish Oil and 2

bran tablets. Forget it.

>Hello Group,

>Last week I asked a question regarding the vitamins. I don't know if my

post didn't come through or what. Is it okay to take all three vitamins at

the same time in the morning? Also, someone posted about inquiring of Dr.

R. re: vitamin shots that would only have to be once a month or so. Don't

get me wrong, I don't have a problem with taking them other than they are

the size of horse pills and by the time I take three with the water or juice

to wash them down I feel like I have had a meal.

Well, yes and no. I add some zinc at night, plus more folic acid with

my son's DMG, and Calcium & magnesium Of course, these are minerals).

It depends also on the child's needs. So yes, the multi is a good

choice, but always look at what the child needs, if he may be more

deficient of certain things, otherwise just the SNT is fine, I believe

..

Some give extra vit C and A (CLO). I think it is a personal choice,

maybe other will advise better since I am not doing this.

Cristina,

It sounds like we are on the same supps! I haven't started CLO, but

plan to in the near future. Right now I am slowly intro. supps to

treat yeast. It is so hard to be patient. I have two others waiting

their turn on the shelf to be introduced! Anyway, thanks for

answering.

Do you mean Poly-Vi-flor or is it what you typed? If you mean

poly-vi-flor, well they were GFCF as of 17 1/2 months ago but have no

idea now.

Can someone also explain how prenatals differ from regular

multivits? Aside from having a different composition, is there also

a difference in theirabsorption?

Thanks, Judie - I got some at Target today and they were only $3.99 for 100.

I am starting to stock up so I will be ready after surgery. I also got some

Luna bars.

I was impressed with the stock Target had to choose from of protein bars,

vitamins, etc.!!

Prenatals are stronger and more concentrated. A pregnant mother needs more

than the normal amounts of vitamins during pregnancy and those who malabsorb

need a boost here too.

Carole,

Mike and I have been taking the prenatals for a year now and our labs are

excellent. (Imagine a man taking prenatals? LOL) We also take one ADEK per

day on top of it along with the calcium. I think over the counter prenatals

are just as good as prescription. If your insurance pays for it then

prescription might be better to get it paid for......

I asked my nurse at Dr. Rabkin's office this question as I am

checking into insurance and my Rx vitamins may not be covered. She

said that they tested patients that were taking each and that there

is really no difference. The main difference is compliance. Take them

daily and any OTC vitamin should be fine. She did say that if you are

a menstruating woman should take some iron as well as the calcium.

LJ (my son) only takes a basic vitamin and has been GFCF for 19 1/2

months so far and all is fine. He gets complete blood work done at the

peds. office and everything is fine. His eating habits are great though

and he eats a VAST variety of foods, so I am sure all he needs is being

met with the foods he consumes with his meals. I don't give anything

other then a multi-vit.

Some flush, some don't. Too much what? Calcium carbonate builds kidney

stones, citrate doesn't. Iron CAN build up in a few of us, but well under

1%. Generally RNY/BPD types run low. A can be toxic, so can D. The B's are

the ones known to be " pee'd out " , usually. What specifically concerns you?

Hello everyone,

Shaelin had his PICC line removed finally. We spent 1 week in the

hospital and the other 2 1/2 weeks home with IV antibiotics. He did

well and seems fine for the moment. We have a follow-up with ENT

next week as his problem is mostly in his sinuses verses his lungs.

His stools remained great though this with my continuing the

probiotic Flora Bears.

We had our annual follow-up with the nutritionist last week and

weight-wise, Shaelin is doing great. He is between the 50th to 75%

(he was only in the 3rd percentile when we got him as a foster child

at 6 months!). She recommended however that in addition to ADEK, he

should receive weekly additional vitamin K along with a children's

multiple vitamin 3x/week. Are any of you doing this and if so, is

there a particular vitamin which is better than others. It would need

to be chewable as he is only 2 1/2.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

As far as daily vitamins go Patti takes the glycobears from manatech. She

suppliments it with a vitamin K tablet three times a week.
