You might be missing calcium which most of us are and calcium is more able to be absorbed when it is taken with vitamin c I believe. Also fiber vegetables really help us get good fiber. Are there any vegetables you are able to eat? Vitamin a is high in vegetables like carrots and sweet potatos. I guess I would really need to know more about what you do eat. There is a website called fitday.Com and it is really cool... You type in the foods you eat for a day and it tells you what u r getting enough of and what u r short on etc. U have to join but it is free and just so that they can remember the data u eat. Good luck hope this helps some.

Well that was kind of frustrating it sounds like you need to avoid vegetables and milk if that helps you and then I would think about a calcium supplement... I really like the viactiv chews it is like candy : ) and then maybe an all around multivitamin. Some people really are picky about what vitamin they get but then truth is that none of them are regulated so pick a brand you like and trust I take one a day.
