I was just reading on Natural News about vit.c not to use the vit.c made from citric acid or ascorbic acid, that is the cheap way of making it and it is actually not good for you.It is made from genetically modified ingredients, same with most children's vitamins. Just go to Natural News.com and check it out.
Not sure if this will help but thay have tons of helpful info on that site.

I have read that zinc can cause constipation and is usually related to dosage, as in too much.

Does Kian have a zinc deficiency?

What is the amount you are supplementing?

Matt takes a zinc supplement but has had no issues with it.

Its just a kids multivitamin im giving him. Though since posting this he has gone to the toilet and I must say it was enough to sink the titanic!! it was normal aswell, not hard and not too soft. More good news was that his ibd nurse called and they happy with him at the minute so rather than the app in sept we now don't go til November, so fingers crossed everything is ok with his next bloodwork next week

Thanks for update dodie and good to hear that Kian 'logged on"!

I doubt very much that the amount in a multivitamin would pose a problem.

Good luck with the bloods! :goodluck:
