Hi everyone,
Just wondering what mutli vitamin everyone takes? My tummy always hurts with the regular old vitamin, just wondering if anyone can recommend any brands?
I feel like im coming down with something and my old way of doing things is to pop a few vitamin C pills, but I know i cant do that now, know of any ways to head of a cold?
any feed back would be great
Thanks!

Make sure your vitamin doesn't have any artificial sweetners, like malitol or something like that in it. I take CVS brand Women's multivitamin once a day, and do fine.
What's wrong with vitamin C pills? Unless they have not IBS-friendly ingredients, they should be fine. And I'm sure you can find some that don't have artificial sweetners in them. But for me, for a cold, I take 12-hour store brand decongestant, drink lots of water, and eat soup made from veggie broth, pasta, and maybe some frozen carrots or peas thrown in.

She says vitamin C can cause gas, abdominal cramps and bloat. vitamins I would avoid the vitamin C, personally.

I can't tolerate vitamins of any kind. They all result in IBS attacks for me.
I head off colds by getting plenty of rest, taking a day off work if necessary (at the outset rather than waiting for the cold to set in) and making a batch of homemade chicken soup, which includes fresh organic parsley, carrots, celery, potatoes, white rice and whatever else I can tolerate.
I find everyone is always sick at my office and their colds last for ages. My approach results in me rarely ever being sick and, when I am, I usually recover in record time.
I survived all the office and public transit colds and flus last winter without a single cold myself. In fact, the last time I had a cold was in January 2004! I think that's pretty good considering I can't eat the full range of foods a non-IBS person can. In fact, sometimes I wonder if having IBS makes me healthier than other people because I am forced to stay away from junk food and eat healthy in order to control my IBS.
