Question about vitamins and TED

Started a TED today. Do I keep taking my vitamins, or do I wait? What should I look for in my vitamin? I currently take a prenatal formulated for the local health food store. It has no added sugar, salt, dairy, yeast, wheat, soy, corn, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. Does this sound good?

Really strict TEDers would probably eliminate it for the time being, but that sounds like a pretty good vitamin as far as not having the major allergens. Are you pregnant? If so, I'd probably keep taking it.

Not pregnant, just keep taking the prenatal.

You could try skipping it for the initial 2-3 weeks, and then if your little one's symptoms clear up, try adding it and see if the improvement continues.

I would take it out initially too. But I'm curious what IS in the vitamin? It sounds like something I could take....

I'm looking for a vitamin that doesn't have soy, corn, dairy, wheat, and the rest of those allergens!! I haven't found one for my 3yo either. I did find BFresh gum (bubblegum flavor) that has 500mg of calcium and 300 mg of B-12 in it (sweetened with xylitol from birch trees). So far I'm taking all my vitamins singly because I can't find a multivitamin that doesn't have some sort of additive.

Kathy, are you looking for one for you? I took the women's multi vitamin from Phytopharmica and it was free of those allergens. http://www.phytopharmica.com/go/Phyt...=10039&sc=True

Oops. I just noticed it contains soy. Sorry.
