Mom of 3 needs Multivitamin that does not constipate! - Vitamins & Supplements Message Board

DeeDeeWith3 · 03-16-2003, 06:54 PM

I was hoping someone could recommend a multivitamin that will not add to my already awful contipation problem. Perhaps it's the iron in some of these formulations? I know I need to take a vitamin as well as a calcium supplement. Does everyone really "feel" better since they take their vitamins? I would if I could find one that would not add to my "problem". Any input?

HI
I GIVE MY SON A CALCIUM W/MAGNISEUM AT NIGHT BEFORE HE GOES TO SLEEP. MAGNISUEM IS SUPPOSED TO HELP INCREASE B/M.
GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the reply. How old is your son, and what strength is this calcium? Was this prescribed by a pediatrician? My almost 3 year old never goes either, even though he eats apricots or prunes every morning. Thanks for the info. Any other vitamin ideas for his mommy?

Dee, I started to take GNC Muliti Vitimans for WOMAN. God it has been heaven scent. I have had problems moving my bowels my entire life and usually if I take a multi the iron it would bind me even more. so far I have been going daily, which for me has never been. I was lucky if I'd go once a week. since I have been on these vitimans, my hair is shinier, I am going to the bathroom daily and I feel great. go to GNC website and ck it out.

Good luck.

I take one that I get from my health food store. It's called Theravits 100. It has all the necessary minerals as well. I've never been constipated since starting this. It was highly recommended to me.

Good luck
