Poly Vi Sol Is Gluten Free And Good For Adults Too

[marciab]

Hi All,

Got this from Enfamil this morning.

"Thank you for contacting the Enfamil* Resource Center. All Mead Johnson vitamin products, Vi-Flor* and Vi-Sol* Drops and Fer-In-Sol* Drops, are gluten-free."

My doctor has me on the baby iron, because my tummy is sooo sensitive. Three weeks now and so far so good. A little gas and chest pain, but not enough to make me stop it. And the pain could be from the chocolate too.

I am trying the regular Poly Vi Sol multi now to see if I can tolerate it as well.

I wasn't absorbing enought Iron or B12 from the vegan diet I was on. And my iron is too low to leave it alone, but not low enough for an iron iv.

My doctor told me that this would explain my fatigue and the light headed episodes I was having.

Just in case any of you adults out there have sensitive tummies too and want to try it.

I'd been thinking about baby vites for a while, since I can't seem to tolerate big kid vitamins I used to be able to handle kids chewable vitamins, but they're upsetting my stomach, even. Are the baby ones really more gentle? How much do adults take?

Thanks for calling them!

ChelsE,

I couldn't handle the childrens chewables either.

I am starting with 1/2 dropper of the Poly Vi Sol mixed in water. The dosage is 1 dropper for infants, but

I have to go really slow on anything new that I introduce. I am planning on taking it twice a day.

Which reminds me, I need to go take it. I have to eat a cracker or have a little food on my tummy too.

I tried to edit my post and lost it.

Anyways, I just checked out the generic Ferrous Sulfate Elixir I've been using. The pharmacist said it was gluten free, but I wanted to see it in writing. THe company is Morton Grove Pharmacueticals and their website says it is gluten free ...

My doc has me on 1/2 tsp diluted into appr. 4 oz of juice or water. I use water. And then you drink it through a straw. If you do not dilute it and use a straw, it will turn your teeth grey / black. I know this from first hand experience.

And I always eat a little with it just to be sure it will not upset my tummy.

Good luck .. marcia
