Multivitamin side effect?

I noticed this happening right after I take my multivitamins. I have to go to the washroom so much more frequently!

I am starting to drink a lot more water, so this morning I had a big cup of coffee and two huge glasses of water. Haven't been drinking that much lately, but today I'm starting.

I noticed this when I started taking them, shortly after, I have to pee all the time! It settles itself down after awhile.

Anyone else notice this?

    Also, make sure to eat when you take the multivitamin. They're not joking around when they say to take it with food hahaha. One morning I was in a hurry and took it quick then went to take a shower before I ate. I had to cut my shower short because I actually felt like I was going to throw up from not eating! It was unpleasant lol. Other than that I actually haven't noticed having to use the restroom more. But I don't drink as much water as I should either...

    I have never had the 'peeing more' side-effect.

    However, I've had the side effect of it turning my pee neon yellow.

    Freaked me out, until I figured out the cause. ;)

    Quick question on Multivitamins in general, I was wondering which are some of the best, or most popular ones? I'm looking for one that kinda gives me a little boost or help in as many vitamins/minerals as possible. College campuses are not the easiest place to find good sources=X Any help?

    A couple years ago I tried the One-a-day Women's something-or-other, and a week or two later I ended up with a cyst in my bladder that burst and caused me to urinate straight blood (felt like a UTI from hell).

    Needless to say, since then I get the green vitapaks from GNC. They're not too expensive, and they have everything you need except for Omega-3's, which you can buy a huge bottle of from Wally World.

    Hope this helps :-)
