Like many of you, I find the bariatric vitamins upset my stomach. I've tried a few different kinds and am just pushing through the vitamin nausea for the most part. I use ProCare Bariatrics w iron, so at least it's only 1/day.
I have read that some of you are taking gummy vitamins. I went back to my post sleeve materials and, while I've learned to take some of the advice with a grain of salt, there are warnings all over my materials about not taking gummy vitamins because they will not deliver the post sleeve vitamins & minerals needed. I've been reading up on this and some articles seem to indicate it's because of their formulation. Others say it's because the gummy form itself is not conducive to post sleeve absorption.
I have been using gummy pro-biotics so am wondering if they are effective or if I'm wasting money.
For those of you taking gummy vitamins, are there brands approved by your practice? Has your blood work been okay? Anyone else with insight into why gummy vitamins are a problem?
