Vitamin Supplements
I need to replenish my vitamins. Does anyone have any thoughts on what brands are the highest quality and which supplements are important with MC? I've seen some posts where D and B complex are helpful. Any thoughts about others, dosage, etc?

Oh boy, this could be embarrassing. Solaray Vitamin Ester C 500mg for immune system; Vitamin B complex 100 mg - Vitacost brand - I feel better when I take it than when I don't; Healthy Hair, Skin, and Nails and Ultimate Eye Support, both from Procaps, Vitamin D 4-8,000 and Salmon Oil 1,000 - Carlson Labs. These are all one a day.JenniferS wrote:MZH, what all do you take and for what, if you don't mind me asking. ;)
I take one Solaray HCL with Pepsin with each meal, except on those rare occasions when I have a salad; luckily, salads are agreeing with me nowadays.
I weaned myself very slowly off Entocort and have been off it since 1/7 b/c I was getting extremely constipated and still am to some degree.
I took L-Glutamine (up to 3000 mg a day) from March 2012 through October. I started getting very gassy and couldn't figure out why; stopped it and it was greatly reduced so I guess that was it.
Most importantly, I take only capsules. I used to find tablets in the toilet and now I don't. But then I don't have D anymore so maybe they're hidden better. LOL
Also have sleep apnea

I get good sources of B vitamins through my eating plan.
as i figured out what i could eat and couldnt eat, first 6 months after Dx, i then set up an excel spreadsheet and analysed the nutrient content of the food items I was eating. If i have three serves of good proteins per day, i get more than enough (being fish, beef, lamb, eggs)
every second weekend, i do up a big pot of stew, this is using grassfed locally raised and butcher meats, it is a mix of 2 parts lamb, 1 part beef, 3/4 part pork, 3/4 part chicken, i slow cook it with my best settling veges and my home made stock.
I have this for two meals every day.
