Does Anyone Know *why* Ba Vitamins...



Recommended Posts

...Make people get so nauseated? There must be a scientific reason for such a rapid response of nausea right after chewing them up. I have been Googling looking for some sort of answer, and many people have the same reaction, but no one seems to be wondering why. Seems strange to me. Anyone have answers????

I don't take BA vita. I use the regular form but make sure they are small capsules or caplets. I'm 7.5 post op and have no complications from Vitamin deficiency. When early out I used pudding or yogurt to help slide them down.

I take two of the flintstones chewable vitamins. They taste good and the bariatric center gave a list of Vitamin supplements and flintstones chewables are one of the suggested choices. If you take children's they prescribe 2 of them.

I think most (if not all) supplements can cause nausea from time to time. If I try to take my meds on an empty stomach, my Calcium pills make me very nauseous. I've actually vomited them up once.

I thought it was just me. I take the Bariatric Advantage multis and have gotten sick after taking them twice. I am trying to find the best time to take them .... sticking with them because they have B Complex in them AND the Biotin level is amazing.

Would like to know the answer as well.

Thanks for the replies. I think there has to be a reason related to one of the ingredients in the vitamin- especially BA Vitamins because so many people have a similar reaction to them. I am almost afraid to try to take them again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
