Hi,
You are welcome to HCM!
The vitamins esp the Fat soluble ones like vit A,D,E and K are stored in the body and not excreted in the urine. Too much of these can cause problems. You have to stop these gummy vitamins,substitute with other favourites and teach her and make her understand gently! Good luck Dr Uma
