Hi, I find that taking the right types of supplements helps somewhat. I have tried many different brands and formulas and here is what i have found:
Minerals are hard on the gut especially unchelated forms. I take a multivitamin(without minerals) with breakfast, and a good multimineral with dinner. This has helped tremendously since the morning is my worst time.
I also take fiber just before dinner so by morning i can go before going to work. It seems to time out that way.
Another thing is to take digestive enzymes. I have found that most of the vegetable based enzymes on the market are too strong and can actually cause cramping and irritation (the one exception is a product called 'Absorbaid'. I personally take pancreatic enzymes, but I also use absorbaid on occasion.
This is what my supplement schedule looks like, maybe it will work for others here also:
AM:
Vitalife Multiforte
Jarrow CoQ10
Primary Sources OPC (antioxidant)-pycnogenol
PM:
Source Naturals Life Minerals without iron
Solgar Bioascorbate
Solgar Dry E 200IU
Jarrow MSM
Jarrow Pancreatin or Absorbaid
Spectrum Fish Oil Caps
Policosanol (for cholesterol)
Green Magma Barley Tab (to keep alkaline)
Before Dinner:
Psyllium Capsules (may switch to acacia)
Garden of Life Goatein Collostrum Tabs (From Goats Milk, predigested-Goats milk is easier to digest than cow)
I order most of my vitamins from www.vitaminshoppe.com Hope this helps
