Nauseous after multi-vitamin and b-12



Recommended Posts

For the last couple of days I have become nauseous after taking my chewable Multi-Vitamin and b-12. I thought it might be because I took them on an empty stomach so today I took them with food, made it worse.

You definitely want to ask your NUT about this one. You may be having a reaction to them. I have a terrible time with Vitamin D, and I take TONS of it for other reasons. I have to take Calcium with it to avoid the nausea. But you can't take Calcium with certain other nutrients, such as Iron, as the calcium will block the absorption of it. So call tomorrow about this. Good luck and a Blessed Easter to you!

With the MVI, it could be the brand you are taking. Try a different one. Try one that does NOT have aspartame or an artificial sugar in it. I take my MVI one in the morning and one in the evening.

The B-12, you should only take after you have eaten a meal. Try taking this one alone. I was taking it in the morning and was making me nauseous, so I started taking after my lunch and it helped.

Hope this helps. Happy Easter

I bought the chewable kind from Bariatric Choice and spent some cash. I think I'm going to try to take the b-12 later because I really think that is the culprit. Thanks!

I can only take the kids multi Vitamin. All others make me sick.

I never got nauseous once during the whole process until I had my first Multivitamin from Nasco Ball. Not trying to again. I emailed my nurse and NUT and they said to buy supplements that match the values. I made the mistake and took citrical last night (big pills) and they felt like they got stuck. Needless to say I am breaking them in half for the future.

      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.
