Struggle to keep down multivitamins

[nikisa 29]

Hey there! Does anyone else struggle to keep down their Multivitamins? I space mine out throughout the day and try to take them with food but it still get sick sometimes. Has anyone else struggled with this? What worked for you? Thank you! (Btw, I'm 3 weeks post op)

I am suppose to take 3 a day. I got the OK from my Dr to take them all at once. So now I take them right before bed with a little yogurt. If I don't take them will food I get all the symptoms of being about to throw up. This is the only way I've found that works for me. I am 4 weeks post op. They must be working because my hair and nails are growing like crazy.

When I had to take a chewable they made me sick. I had to crush them and mix in with my yogurt. Now I take capsules and have no problems. But mixing them with yogurt did the trick. I ate just enough of the yogurt to finish the Vitamin and would save the rest.

I have 9 total chewable that I have to take a day. I tried taking 4 at a time once.....big mistake. I like your idea of taking them before bed though. My Calcium pills are the ones that give me the most trouble. I'll give it a shot. Thank you!

Mixing with yogurt? Great idea!

I did a liquid Centrum multi-Vitamin for my first 6 weeks. I had to add Iron but other than that it was great and my labs came back perfect. I now do a capsule once a day and LOVE it.

I got the melts and they are tasty! We went over Vitamins in one of our classes and we were taught which ones you don't mix and why. I decided to buy a pill organizer to keep me on track. My surgery is the 28th so I am preparing now. I am also going to set my phone alarm in the beginning to make sure I remember.

I don't seem to have trouble with the Multivitamin (procare bariatric chewable), but the calcium citrate is not easy to digest!
