Hi my OH friends. Just a question regarding vitamins. If we can't eat for 30 minutes before or after meals, what about vitamins. Thanks for the clarity.

I take my vitamins with water before I eat a meal.

Vitamins have always been tricky for me. Because I take thyroid, Calcium and Iron and each cannot be taken within 4 hours of eachother I have to time everything within 4 hours of each other

I don't know about thyroid meds. But iron and calcium doses only need to be 2 hours apart.

There's no need for the no drinking before meals. Drink right up until you eat. No drinking during or for 30 minutes after eating.

Scheduling is my biggest problem mainly because I am taking plaquenil twice a day which shouldn't be taken with calcium. It's like taking something all day to keep enough time between vitamins and meds. I guess it's a small price to pay.

yes it"s totally a juggling act. You're right a small price to pay. Congratulations on your success.

I don't recall where I learned this or if it's valid.... calcium is better absorbed if taken with food.
