https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Probably-TMI-Multi-Vitamin-not-Digested/m-p/169830#M3796 <P>Hi Everyone,</P> <P>I am trying to get back into taking a multi every day (for some reason I got out of the habit of doing so). I started a thread a while back and got lots of great recommendations on a good multi available at B&amp;M stores. Well, I purchased and have been taking Centrum Specialist Complete Multivitamin. Went to the bathroom last week, and there it was, WHOLE, in the toilet. So gross, I know. And probably WAYYYYY TMI. But it got me to thinking: Why am I taking a vitamin that would just be found undigested in the toilet? I realize that many of these vitamins have that enteric coating that supposedly makes them easier to digest, but how is this helping me if I can see it WHOLE? </P> <P>I was sort of shocked and confused. Weird thread, I know. But has anyone else had this happen? I have not continued taking it b/c of this. And I'm wondering--How do I know that my vitamins are being digested and "doing their job"???</P> <P>TIA<img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://community.qvc.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></P> Fri, 02 Mar 2012 19:05:04 GMT glmama 2012-03-02T19:05:04Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Probably-TMI-Multi-Vitamin-not-Digested/m-p/169830#M3796 <P>Hi Everyone,</P> <P>I am trying to get back into taking a multi every day (for some reason I got out of the habit of doing so).
