Yummie Bears are multi-vitamins that look and taste like Gummi

Bears. The packaging itself says they are gluten and casein free

(though I believe the bears with fiber are not). My son used to love

them but I changed to the SuperNuThera because I wanted the vitamin B

& Magnesium.

Marcie,

We give Liquid Health liquid childrens multiple with enzymes. It

has high (but not mega) doses of vitamins without the " vitamin " smell and

taste. We get it at our local hfs.
