Multivitamin equals vomitting

[Marie from Michigan 11]

My Doctor started me on the Celebrate chewables two weeks before surgery. I took them, but didn't like them at all. After surgery, they made me extremely nauseous. At my 2 week post-op visit, my Doctor said to try taking my regular multivitiamin, a Target brand Centrum. His suggested taking it at night instead of the morning. I have no trouble getting it down even though its pretty big. I am really glad that is working for me!

Sorry... some of you may think this is "TMI" so dont read any further!! ... The first month post op I did liquid centrim vitimans.. then I switched to high powered Centrim for Women.. they are really big, which you couldnt tell from the dark bottle, and about 15 minutes after taking them my stomach was upset, and I would like "burp" the vitiman taste,,, nasty... The show stopper was... ugh.. so imbarassed to admit this but,,, I had a bowel movement and there was my vitiman pretty much in the same form as when I swallowed it..how sick...so I realized my body must not have been digesting this big pill... and I had noticed being so tired and just not feeling the greatest for the past couple of weeks. I went back to my liquid centrim. Its more $$$, I buy it at Walmart and go through a $7.00 bottle every 4 weeks... but at least I know for sure being liquid the vitiamns are being absorbed in my body....not like the vitimans I was taking!... good luck in finding what works for you...

Save your money!! I take 2 Flintstones a day.

Me too! My surgeon recommends them before any other brand. I have had no problems keeping them down. I take Flinstones Complete with Iron.

I had the same problem and tried just about every good chewable out there. ($$$)

So I called Celebrate and told them... they let me return unopened Vitamins and send me the capsules, which you can break open and swallow the good stuff.

I would open a capsule into a tablespoon, add some milk or crystal light and had no problem with the taste or texture.

Now I'm able to swallow them without opening and its great. (Though I do forget to take them some times.)
