I don't see how Carafate can help your bladder.
Carafate is used to coat the stomach and prevent gastritis, or erosion from say damaging drugs like Prednisone. It is not much used anymore, since treatments for gastritis have changed over the years.
It is not significantly absorbed (minute amounts are).
I don't see how Metanx can hurt the bladder. None of the ingredients change pH of the urine. I can see how high dose Vit C may affect it, or alcohol, both are bladder irritants.
This article lists foods that may irritate the bladder:

This article suggests using B6 other than hydrochloride. The amount of HCL in a pyridoxine supplement is minute..I fail to see how that hurts the bladder.
The B6 in the Metanx is pyridoxal phosphate--activated B6.
The other two vits are in minute amounts, not much is likely to get to the bladder either.
