Anybody have any advice on the best daily multivitamin?  Are there any multivitamins that are specifically made for UC?  I current take one per day of the Eckerd version of Centrum.

I take a high-potency multi-vitamin formula produced by Jamieson, it contains no sucrose, yeast, gluten, starch, or lactose. Personally, I'm not familiar with any formulas specifically designed for those with colitis.

Yes there is a vitamin that is specially designed for people with IBD's. You can find it at www.forvia.com I found that after switching to Forvia after taking a regular vitamin, I eventually felt better overall.

Yes, I take forvia also. I just started taking it, so I don't notice any significant difference yet. I keep hearing good things about it.

It is best to look at labels before deciding which multi to choose. Forvia advertises itself as being the vitamin designed specifically for IBD. It has a lot of B12 which is important especially if you have Crohn's but their other ingredients are mediocre. I would rather choose a more comprehensive multi and buy extra B12 if it is that important for you.

I like Rainbow Light but check labels and see for yourself. Life Extension is another good brand.

My first GI didn't like me to take vitamins, something about the binders in them being bad. So taking one for IBD'ers might be important.

I would also try searching for Freeda Vitamins

I recently found that the folks who make Emergen-C (the dissolvable supplement drink) also makes a multi-vitamin. There are no binders or capsules so they are easy on my system and I like the taste a lot.
