Trying to schedule different meds etc is a pain in the butt.

    OK, here's the new plan that I'm going to try...

    (The numbers denote how many hours it is since I woke up)

    Zero: breakfast, morning supplements etc
    1.5: iron supplement (because it has to be separated from one of my morning supplements by that amount of time)
    7.5: levothyroxine
    10.5 or later: magnesium (this is to help me relax for sleep, so when I take it depends how early I want to sleep)
    11.5 or later: can take Gaviscon if needed.

    Between 3.5 and 11.5: try not to eat anything high in calcium (milk, cheese, Gaviscon, Broccoli, or anything fortified with a large amount* of calcium) or high in iron (red meat, or anything fortified with a large amount* of iron). Also avoid soya, but I don't tend to eat that anyway.
    Between 6.5 and 8.5: try not to eat much fibre.

    *like, when it's a big enough amount for the food product to state how much calcium/iron it contains on the nutrition label.

    Let's see how this goes...

    Have you read the "thou shalt nots" for Vit D pills? I think they probably vary a bit from manufacturer to manufacturer, but they do my caree's head in!
