Vitamins=Nausea

[mggonzal 54]

Every time I take my Vitamins I feel nausea... Why could be this happen? Any advise?

You know it is funny that you mention this. I started taking a Calcium and acid reducer pill the last couple of days and I was nauseous also. I was worried something was wrong, but you may be right, it could be the pills. So today I am taking them with food and splitting them up during the day, so far so good.

I eat a mini babybel cheese every morning before I take my Vitamins because otherwise the Iron in the multi makes me sick.

I have had this problem with Vitamins my whole life. I found a Vitamin made by NatureMade that is a softgel. It is the only vitamin that has never made me sick.

Take them with food, but remember that Iron absorption is lessened when you eat with your medication. Also, avoid taking Calcium (or eating a calcium laden food) when taking Iron. Take them separately.

I had to switch to a chewable prenatal Vitamin and it worked much better and had a good balance of vitamins/minerals. I took it for more than a year even before I got pregnant. Now that I'm pregnant and everything makes me nauseous, I take a Gummy Vitamin and a separate iron supplement (the gummies don't usually contain iron) as well as B12 injections.

I can say from experience that it is very important to keep trying different things and not just give up on the supplements. They made me so ill that I stopped taking them, but around one year I was fatigued, sluggish and forgetful. I was seriously deficient in iron and B12 and once I got my levels back to normal my quality of life improved immensely.

Good luck,

Very good advice. I also struggled with finding a Multivitamin that would not make me throw up. Tried Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate capsules with iron and finally a trader joes high potency chewable tablets. The trader joes are the only ones that will not cause heaving and throwing up. They taste pretty good, are 5 calories and easy to take. Good luck finding something that works for you.

We tell our pregnant patients in L&D to take Flintstone Vitamins if they get nauseas... I take them and they seem to help since the gummies didn't go down well. Maybe try that.

I take liquid vit and that has helped me. I can not take regular or I just throw them up

What Calcium (chewable or not) do you take. I bought the Bariatric Advantage and its horrible tastes like biting into chalk.

I have Citrate calcium with vit D chewables and they are really good.
