Multivitamin Tablets making me ill!

They always make me feel sick.

I can't stomach the big ones either. You can either look for ones that are round Advil size or check ou chewable vitamins or powders (mixed in drinks). .

Depends on which ones, and at what time of day I take them. You definitely have to experiment a bit.

Why do you feel you need one?

They make me vomit. Like clockwork 15 minutes after I take them, they come right back up. So I switched to the gummy vitamins because they stay down.

They shouldnt make you ill, as they are full of nutrients that the body needs. However, they are not all equal!! Some have Propylene Glycol in them, which is what is used to de-ice planes!! (Note, PG is found in a LOT of stuff!!).

Look for a MV that is free of artificial flavours, preservatives, colours etc. Some need taking on a empty stomach like antibiotics. I always take mine as soon as I wake up (just to make sure I remember to take them!) And take them with lots of water.

I can't take the big ones either - they always give me a stomach ache. I take one of the Flintstones Chewables with dinner and they don't bother me. I think it really helps to eat a meal when you take the vitamin so that it digests easier.

I have a hard time with them too. What works for me is to take them at night after my last snack, and I can only take the gummy ones. For some reason those are the only ones that will stay down for me.

This happens to a lot of people, myself included. There are two tricks to avoid this.

1. NEVER take them on an empty stomach. This will undoubtedly make you ill and many vitamins are fat soluble, meaning you won't absorb them on an empty stomach anyway.
2. If your tummy still hurts if you take them with a meal, try cutting them in half and only taking half. You can either just take 1/2 a day, or 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening.

Same with alot of folks, I use the gummies. When I did use the pill form, I took at night with a couple crackers

i heard that the iron hurts the tummy mostly. some ppl suggest taking a multi-vitamin without it.

They make me sick too unless I take them with my food. I eat breakfast, and halfway through, take the vitamins, then eat the rest. About 10 min later I eat several crackers, and drink a little water and I don't sick then. I know it seems like a pain, but I have medical reasons I take the multi vitamin, and calcium and high dose b vit and folic acid (prescribed from my doctor). Best of luck, but I have found this works well for me. I also have found I can handle them better later in the day, at lunch time afternoon snack time. Best of luck.

I can not take muti's on an empty stomach.
When I gulp them down halfway through a meal, no problems.

try drinking a few glasses of water when u take the pill this should help a little at less thats what my doc recumend for me
if u really cant take them u should try finding out which vitamins ur diet lakes and just take those indivisibly

Multivitamins intended for adults make me sick to my stomach as well. I've heard you should try to drink a lot of water when taking vitamins but that hasn't helped me... so I swapped to Flinestones Chewables... They taste yummy and my Dr. even said that's a good substitute.

I bought multivitamin tablets a few days ago and been taking them once a day after breakfast for the past two days. Ever since I keep on burping and can taste the tablet throughout the day. Yesterday I started hiccuping as well and the back of my throat feels like I'm going to or have been sick. Ive had the day of today as I don't feel right and my mums told me to stop taking them for a while to see if there causing it. Could it be them or is it something else? Has anyone else had the same problem?

try taking them at night before you go to bed. that might help you.
