I Can't Tolerate Vitamins, Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm in need of some advice. My surgery was 2 weeks ago. Everything has gone really well. I'm just about finished with my liquid diet. I'm getting 50-60 grams of Protein in and I've been walking and/or biking most everyday.

BUT I can't keep my Vitamins down. I use the brand name Celebrate. I've tried the chewables and would throw them up within about a minute or two. Today I picked up the tables and threw that up within about five minutes. I think it's because the "tablets" are nothing more than the chewables chopped up and put into a capsule. Once the capsule dissolves, I'm back to the same Vitamin that I had when I chewed one up.

Are there other brands out there that people are having more success with?? I'm thinking about going back to my Centrum just to get something in me!!

I'm two weeks out and I am taking CVS brand Spectravite in liquid form. It's not bad tasting at all and absorbs pretty well.

I was taking the same all in one chewable from Celebrate. I was unable to stomach at all. I went to a support group and the leader suggest Wellesse liquid vitamins. I take their Multivitamin twice a day and their liquid Iron supplement once a day. then I take the calcium chews I got from my doctor.

I've tried liquid and chewable and could not keep either. I brought gummies multi and citracal and they have been fine today. I'm going to try and get my Iron on tomorrow

The Gummy Multi Vitamins from Costco!!! They work amazing, and no nausea at all. I was throwing all of the bariatric brands right up...it was awful. My surgeon suggested them without realizing I had already gotten them!!

This happened to me the past 2 days! No problem until now. And I was using the same brand as you. I switched to Flinstones chewables and have had no problems.

Two weeks out I too started getting so nauseous any time I took my liquid Vitamin. I threw it out today just thinking of it now makes me gag. I started taking two flintstones in the am and two in the pm. Just to help myself until I heal more . I am on week 4.

The Celebrate multi-complete makes me dizzy. I take Bariatric Advantage chewables for my Calcium and Omega 3. I have been taking Vitamin D through a vitafusion Gummy. Sometimes I take the vitafusion B12, other days I'll do the sublingual, but hopefully I'll just start getting shots soon. I have been taking one a day gummies for my multi- Vitamin. Write to building blocks, they'll send you some samples.< /p>

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
