Azemarie 0 Posted August 6, 2012 Hello! I was wondering if anyone has had trouble with their Multivitamin making them get sick. I have always had a big problem with taking Vitamin D, but never Multivitamins. I am now taking the Celebrate brand as recommended by my NUT. Since I've started it post-op it has always made me nauseous, but this morning I actually ended up throwing it up. I have gotten close to getting sick other days. I am supposed to be taking it twice a day, but now that doesn't really seem realistic. I had to stop taking one medicine last year because it did this to me. What brand/type/amount of multivitamin do you take? My NUT did say she'd like me to take a chewable, not a Gummy. Has anyone ever had this problem? What helped? I see my NUT on Thursday, but I don't feel like I should just quit taking multivitamins until then, so any advice is helpful. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffany Talbert Corbet 46 Posted August 6, 2012 powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com has a chewable multi-Vitamin that is specially made for wls patients and you only have to take it once a day. I think it was $19.95 for a bottle of 90. I've been getting use to the Protein powders and they're really yummy. I haven't tried the Vitamins yet as I'm trying to get rid of my Centrum before my surgery. Good luck!! 1 allmyjoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DZ1RMQ 20 Posted August 6, 2012 I got very nauseous taking the chewable multi Vitamin from Bariatric Advantage. I am going to try and take it at night. But I agree, taking it twice per day doesn't seem possible because it makes me so sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzjag 107 Posted August 6, 2012 How about liquid vitamins. I take a really good one from Natural Vitality. I mix it my morning Protein Drink. Good luck hope you're feeling better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HalfTheWoman 107 Posted August 6, 2012 I got very nauseous taking the chewable multi Vitamin from Bariatric Advantage. I am going to try and take it at night. But I agree, taking it twice per day doesn't seem possible because it makes me so sick. Those are the same one I take and they make me sick too! I actually threw mine up so I do still take them but at night after dinner. They still make me nauseous but not quit as bad. I will never take them in the morning again!

SunnyCox 245 Posted August 6, 2012 I also get sick from the Bariatric Advantage multiple Vitamin. Other brands haven't made me sick in the past, so I am probably going to switch to something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaysonsmom 59 Posted August 6, 2012 I use flinstone chewables-the gummies don't have thiamin so my nut advised against using them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunnyCox 245 Posted August 6, 2012 I also get sick from the Bariatric Advantage multiple Vitamin. Other brands haven't made me sick in the past, so I am probably going to switch to something else. I am also using flinstone chewables, but I use the tablets and not the gummies. I take two at a time. They do have thiamin (B1). They are not making me sick. I liked the taste at first. Now that I am near the end of the bottle, I don't like them as much. I have a bottle of Once-A-Day Vitacraves which are gummies. They make a lot of different sub-types of Vitacraves, but I don't believe any of them have thiamin. I take the Bariatric Advantage B-50 complex in addition to my multi Vitamin, so I am sure that I get enough in. These have not made me feel sick, but I was also recommended against using the Gummy form of Vitamins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LT1002 138 Posted August 7, 2012 I had tried Centrum chewables but they made me queasy, so I switched to an adult Gummy from Target and an adult B-12 gummy. No nausea and they go down fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ljp 157 Posted August 7, 2012 Thts horrible if it makes you sick. I take 2 chewable flinstone (after lunch) 1 cap of 1000mg of wellness liquid Calcium +d (at night), liquid B12 (in the morning). The calcium taste very good too. Have you tried any of these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azemarie 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for all the suggestions! I will have to see what I can find at the store tomorrow. Maybe the Celebrate just has way too much of everything for my stomach to handle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carly 56 Posted August 7, 2012 I had very immediate nauseous response to both BA and Celebrate Vitamins. I gave up on them and am now taking GNC be whole multivitamins. They are regular Vitamins that you swallow but not difficult for me at all. Incidentally, I have been searching for physiological reasons why they made me so sick and the ingredients are very similar to the GNC vitamins except that there is Iodine in the bariatric vitamins, which isn't in the GNC. I'm not saying that's the cause, but I don't know why the reaction is so strong for so many people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tipintx 41 Posted August 7, 2012 I am yet to be sleeved but I take a powder form Vitamin that I mix in Water - I simply can't do the Unjury chewables. Are liquid vitamins ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
