I do it the way that Val was saying before (i think it was her), I put the water in my mouth and hold my head back and then when you put the pill in you really wont have too much trouble.

What distinguishes most RX Prenatals from their OTC counterparts is the amount of folic acid they contain. Normally- 1.0 mg folic acid (1000 mcg). This, and both the type and amount of iron contained therein. Many of the RX prenatals contain Iron in the form of ferrous iron which can include either ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, and ferrous gluconate. I'm told the latter is less binding and constipating. Rx Prenatals containing ferrous sulfate generally also contain a stool softener such as docusate sodium which can in and of itself sometimes interfere with iron absorbtion for some. What's key is the amount "elemental iron" each of these types of iron have.
For example; a typical 325 mg iron supplement pill breaks down as follows:
Iron Supplement Tablet Size Elemental Iron
Ferrous fumarate 325 mg ----108 mg
Ferrous sulfate 325 mg ------ 65 mg
Ferrous gluconate 325 mg ----35 mg

The closest I have come to finding what we need is "Vinate II" put out by Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc.. Not subject to the recalls but it only contains 27 mg of ferrous gluconate So we would still have to supplement additional iron.
The chief Pharmacist at Breckenridge and I talked briefly about this and he is supposed get back to me with alternatives.

It seems as though there are some manufacturing problems and the drug manufacturers have recalled not ust prenatals, but many other products as well.
Please let me know if you find out anything else! My labs have been perfect these past four years and I don't want to change if I don't have to!

PRE OPS ... Want a surgery that has the least chance of long-term re-gain, is BEST at curing your Diabetes (98%+), removes much of the hunger hormone Ghrelin, NO DUMPING, NO MARGINAL ULCERS and NO STOMA / STRICTURES? CURIOUS WHY I CHOSE THE DS? VISIT MY PROFILE.
I hate prenatals for us. They're configured all wrong. The ASMBS strongly suggested NO PRENATES last summer at the conference for the same reason.
They're high in folic (not a bad thing), but low in the things we needs lots of, A, D and the iron/calcium in there together makes them fairly useless for both.
Try a regular multi. Not Premier, not Silver, not Performance. Standard Centrum-like multi. It includes the trace stuff, the "unpronouncables" at the bottom.
Then, of course, flesh in around according to malabsorption. ADEK, iron, calcium, zinc, B12 and so on.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
Here is supplement facts for Women's 50+ Advantage One A Day vitamins. I purchased them at Costco yesterday.
I am thinking I should probably take TWO a day of these to match many of the ingredients in the Natalcare Pic Forte.
