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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
