Ok, so I've started taking my non- chewable multivitamin yesterday & both times I've taken them it really upsets my stomach & gives me diarrhea. Anyone else having this issue or have gone through the same thing?

Its 21st Century Mega Multi for women. It is what my dietitian recommended. It wasnt easy to find either.

I wonder if the vitamin is causing this because it isn't a bariatric formulated one.  When I talk vitamins with my bariatric friends we are all across the board on what our Drs have suggested we take.  Presently, I am doing alright but I am using bariatric vitamins.

Banded  Oct 2008:  290       
RNY Feb 2012:        245    
Dr's set goal:            170 reached Oct 11, 2012
My goal:                     160  reached Dec 1, 2012
Today :                       145-150

I am half the person I was in 2008.

I was on the Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins 3 tabs a day, but the dietitian's at my surgeons office suggested this brand for after the chewables. Nothing up until this point has upset my stomach, well except for the milk in my protein shakes.

Nope, mine don't bother me.  But if it upsets your stomach, I would go back to the chewables.

I've taken other vitamins & meds since surgery. Wondering if maybe I have a stomach bug or something. I'll give it a little while longer & see how it goes.
