Hello all, I wanted to pose a question regarding the benefits of taking vitamins. I currently take a multivitamin and a gummy chewable calcium. The calcium is for the toll my bones took with years of prednisone use. My question is, with an ileostomy, is there a benefit to taking vitamins or would the system not absorb them? Anyone have any knowledge of vitamin benefits for an ileostomy? The vitamin B12 is one that I hear we are all at risk of not having enough of. Thanks. Penguins7
