Vitamins

[jeannepetty605 6]

I am having a lot of trouble getting all my meds down. I did a couple days of vitamins/Nexium and did fine but then I had to add two antibiotics for my H. Pylori bacteria in my stomach. Thats when it all went down hill. I have a very difficult time getting them down without vomiting and after I do I will be nauseous for hours. I will wretch and sometimes vomit hours later. I am not sure what to do with this. I have been just doing the two antibiotics and the Nexium because this is necessary to prevent ulcers until I see the doc Thursday. Any ideas?

Sorry you are having this problem...... Make sure you have the chewable Vitamins. When I first started taking them, the taste was ok. Now they taste like rotten fruit (after taking for 2 weeks) I am also having to take sips of Water to wash it down after chewing. You really need to ask your physician/surgeon about this. Vomiting leads to dehydration, so be careful...

Every physician/surgeon has a different 'spin' on the Vitamin deal. My nutritionist stressed the importance of taking them. After I discussed the taste issue with my surgeon, he told me I did not have to take them every day as long as I was taking my 50,000 units of Vitamin D once a week. So I take the Iron, Calcium, & Multivitamin every other day, and B12 once a week. When I go back to see him on 7/22, I am going to ask about stopping them after I start back at semi-regular diet (6-7 weeks).
