Kelly - Do you post your vitamin recommendations on your blogspot? If not, have you thought about it? You've got LOTS of good intel on it and it seems like everyone is wanting you to share... myself included. I've been to your blog and I didn't see an area about WLS but just wanted to throw it out there. Would be super easy to point us there, right?

It's one of the things I've been thinking of doing for a long time but haven't gotten around to yet. But yes, it would be pretty easy. Thanks for the encouragement, maybe I'll get moving on that soon.

I have written a number of articles on vitamins and nutrition and other issues related to WLS, which can be found here: contributor.yahoo.com/user/83723/kelly_morris.html. Not all of the articles are WLS-related though so people have to scroll through a long list of titles to find those that are.

I looked up the BA caramel ones previously and I'm pretty sure they had some SA's in them and those are a big NO for my digestion. I just looked up the Calcet creamy bites, the chocolate ones have red 40 (allergic) but the lemon creme looks ok...I'm totally ordering those now! Thanks Kelly!

Yeah, the BA ones have sugar alcohols, I'm pretty sure. I would not have guessed the chocolate Calcet had red food coloring in them. Shows what I know about artifical coloring in food.

Hey, I do know one thing about coloring in food. Many foods use a red coloring called carmine, or carminic acid, which is made from crushed up beetles. Sounds yummy, huh?

I do love the lemon Calcet bites. Hope you like them.

I eat one lemon creamy calcet bite a day. I'll have to try the chocolate again. The first try didn't care for it but my tastes buds have settled down. On the subject of yucky additives, when I learned that red lipstick at one time contained pigs blood it grossed me out. I was in a class where the instructor bought in all these weird things for discussion. Of course, one never knows the truth behind some of these things but I would not want to smear pigs blood on my lips if true.

Yep, seriously. I think they are called carmine beetles or something like that. But they do not list "crushed beetles" on the label, they just say carmine or carminic acid. Guess they figure people might not buy it if they realized it was made with crushed bugs. Imagine that.

Do you know or have heard anything about the B12 patches worn behind the ear. I used them for 2 months but am out and haven't decided it they do anything more than my B12 Sublingual. I don't remember what I paid but it seems they were pricey. They are over the counter at my pharmacy.
