Am I over doing the Vitamins!?!

Types
I am not sure what types of those supplements come in chewable form, but taking them on chewable form with the right kind of food and in smaller doses but throughout the day may help increase absorption rates.
I have no colon, so my transit times are very quick. I take children's chewable (currently Flinstones) several times a day. If I take normal hard pill forms I hear them as they clink against the toilet on exit. For me I was just flushing money down the toilet so to speak.0 -
Vitamins
My doctor took me off of every vitamin but Calcium. He said any vitamin or herbal supplement I take that is good for my healthy cells also makes my cancer cells healthier. Also, no aspirin because of the bleeding problem while taking Avastin. I can bleed at the drop of a hat, now. Helps taking my glucose count in the mornings.
He did tell me Vitamin E was okay for the cracks on my hands and feet.
