Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a liquid vitamin w/iron. I have had no luck finding one and I really am not doing well with the chewables. I think they taste like chalk. I tried walmart chewables, flinstones and a few others and I truly do not like them. I know vitamins are an important part of our diets and need to find something fast as my surgery date is fast approaching. Please help!

I am in the UK, and am having chewable 'sweet' type vitamins. They are fruit flavoured jelly like sweets. Quite nice.
All the very best for your surgery.

Hi .. i am using the Vita-gummies (gummy bears) i got it at Sam's Club. They taste just like regular gummy bears. I take 4 a day. I have to chew them until they are mush of course which is fine because they taste good. I also bought the vita-ball (gumballs) from wal-mart .. i chewed one to see how it tasted and it's really good. I still have a lot of burping all day so i am not chewing the vita-balls yet since i'm afraid it will put more air into my stomach.. i am only 4 days post-op. i could not stomach the chewable centrum vitamins.. they were awful. I also heard the flintstone children's chewables are good.

Ooohhh...thanks for the info, you guys. I was wondering the same thing after not finding anything on my last shopping trip.

My wife found gummi-vitamins, taste just like a gummi-bear - they're great!!!! Sams carries them as does Kroger groceries and probably a lot of other places too.
