I have tried the vitimins they gave me from the docs office and the flinstones. Thats it. I will do a search on iron food. I would just feel better taking something. Someone said to take just vitimins with no iron and they would keep a eye on my iron at the docs office. I don't know thanks for the advice though.

Absolutely - same thing as Aspertame or Equal..... I can't use it and many others have severe reactions. People with PKU problems can even have seizures.... Good researching!

I cannot tolerate any artificial sweeteners in any form or amount. Most multivitamins make my tummy upset.

When I've been pregnant, OB always wants me to take prenatals, but they make me ill. They do make chewable prenatals but most of them (at least that I found) have artificial sweeteners in them, which make my IBS go CRAZY.

I found that the Target brand of children's multi vitamin with iron is great. Real sugar is in it (sucrose) instead of aspartame (NutraSweet), saccharin, sucralose, etc. I took two of these a day and had very healthy pregnancies!

It is the Target store brand

Children's Multi Vitamin With Iron
(hot pink label)
has 300mcg of Folic Acid per pill
has 15 mg of Iron per pill

Another option (if you don't need the Iron) is:

L'il Critters Brand
Gummy Vites
Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Formula

260 mcg Folic Acid per 2 gummies

I have seen these at health food stores, grocery stores, Trader Joe's but I get mine at Costco in a big bottle.

I hope this helps!
