Vitamins Hurt My Stomach

[Paola 62]

I started taking Vitamins as soon as I started loosing weight, they would go down easy: however, since I started my pre-op liquid diet every time I take them they hurt my stomach. Its the same vitamins from before, its actually the same bottle! Has anyone experienced something like this?

Paola,

It could be that the lack of food in your stomach is causing this. Vitamins can be hard on an empty stomach. try making sure you take it with or just after your Protein drink and see if that helps.

I take them right after my dinner, at this stage I am allowed 1 low carb meal a day, and I still get the pain. It is not a go to the bathroom pain, its on the top part of the stomach.

If nothing else has changed, it could be that you may have to find another Vitamin. I would still try taking it a different way to see if you can tolerate it. Maybe shortly after you start eating. Is it a pill you take or a chewable? I was told to have a chewable and I use Bariatric Advantage. It will make me very sick if I take it on an empty stomach and also if I take all of it on a full stomach. I nibble on one after a meal and take my time with it. I have no problems at all that way.

Its a pill, I have some chewables but Im saving them for post surgery life.

_{I'd recommend looking into the jelly or liquid form. My Vitamins would hurt my stomach post op and they were the same vitamins now i am taking the jelly form and picking up the liquid Calcium this week,}

I think it's the lack of food in your stomach. Right now I take the whole food organic Vitamin from New Chapter Organics. I love them because they're made with real food so they never upset my stomach. However, they are big, so I'm not sure how swallowing them will go post-op. I have bought some chewables just in case.

I think you are right
