I already did a search on here for a good multivitamin for us UCers, but there were like 27,000 returns and all the ones I checked were from years ago. Would just like to know if anyone recommends a particular one for people with UC. My diet is pretty open, the only thing I do is keep my fiber intake and gluten to a minimum. Also, avoid raw veggies and fruits. Mostly scared to try the raw veggies and fruits. I am going to start taking Nature's Way Alive! Men's Gummy Vitamins (make fun of me, I don't care, I'm tired of taking pills LOL). It is a multi-vitamin/multi-mineral supplement with26 Fruits & Vegetables, Full B-Complex/Energy + Prostate Support. I asked the guy at the nutrition store if he knew of one that was good for people with UC or Crohn's, he had no idea. Appreciate all of your inputs.

Is there a reason youre not eating any veggies or fruit? Im just fine with them. I take Deva multivitamin but its much better to just get your nutrients from food.

I stay away! As far away from raw veggies as I can! I am testing the water with melon and so far ok. I won't eat apple or other high fruitlose if my life depended on it, ok maybe I would then. :-). I can't eat fruit usually.

I use New Chapter. They are expensive but worth it . You can get them cheaper at www.vitacost.com. I have never finished a bottle of vits in my life until I took these and saw a huge diff.

Good look. Don't just take cheapie they go right thru you and are a waste of money.

Sara - I am still in my original flare, scared to try raw veggies or fruits because of the digestive factors. I do eat salad and bananas, yesterday had a couple of seedless grapes, had a slice of an apple peeled. I will also eat cooked veggies, asparagus, green beans, artichokes, carrots, but they lose their nutrients when cooked. I am going to slowly try fruits, I really hope to be able to handle strawberries, watermelon, nectarines, carrots, celery, onions, and cucumbers.

DMC - Thanks for the info, I'll look into that one and the website to order them.
