Anyone else have trouble keeping daily vitamins down?

I have that problem if they contain iron. Only thing I found was to take it right before I went to bed because for some reason if I was laying down it seemed to not be a problem.

Yes, as a matter of fact. I take half a tablet. Even if I forget until an hour or so after I eat, it still doesn't make me sick anymore.

I try to get them down right before I go to sleep and I do better but some nights I just can't do it. Its the size of the monsters. Little ones I do really well.

Same. I started just trying to figure out which supplements I need and do it separately. I use the gentle iron which is fine but if I take regular iron, I'm tossing my cookies in no time.

I use the gummy kind from costco. Also take the gummy calcium. My doctor recommended chewable Flintstones (2 a day). I like the gummy ones - I take them after my meal and they are sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth to replace dessert.

I take mine at night also...works so much better.

I have always had the same problem. I had to start taking the gummy kind.

Yes, same thing with children's vitamins. I told my doctor about it and she said it's a very common issue and that my diet should be covering anything I need anyway, especially since I don't have any diet restrictions. Could be different if you have any kind of deficiency or diet restrictions though.

I have had the same problem. A nutritionist once told me to take the vitamins right before or right after I eat something with a little bit of fat in it. She said that vitamins are fat soluable and that taking the vitamins with a little fat should help with the sickness/naseua. That seems to work for me.

I use the gummy ones on the advice of my OB. I try to make sure I get adequate nutrition from food, so the vitamins are just an extra insurance policy anyway.

I have to do them with a meal or I just vomit. So its usually lunch time. I do alive!

feeling extreme nausea every time i take my multi-vitamin on an empty stomach. This is usually easily resolved by popping some food in my mouth. I've noticed, the higher the fat content of the food i eat, the faster the feeling goes away. So here is my educated physiology asnwer to this question.
Nausea/vomitting is not well understood, but there are vomitting centers in your brainstem that respond both to chemoreceptors (toxins/allergies/etc) and to motion (from your ear).

What happens when you eat a multivit, is you take a very large dose of essential ions, 'vital amines', and sometimes metals such as zinc and iron. all of these are necessary for your bodys daily use, but taken in large amounts set off toxin triggers in your brain.
Eating food dilutes the effects of these more 'toxic' necessities and your brain doesn't see the amount you just ingested as harmful. I believe that some of these components are most likely fat soluble, and therefore eating something with some fat such as yogurt or cheese allows for even faster dilution of your multi vitamin.

Hope that clears things up for some people! Everyone's bodies respond differently to different substances, hence the varied responses. Figure out what works for you and what doesn't. If you're still feeling sick even after eating, you're most likely especially sensitive and should switch to multi vitamins with lower doses (such as a child's vit taken twice a day) or consult your doctor on how to take these vitamins seperately so you don't feel sick.
cheers.
