I've never had that happen to me, but I take the gummy ones or easily digestible ones, like chewable or liquid (I have a family member who had a gastic bypass so our vitamins generally are picked out to suit her "improved" digestive tract).0

They make me very nauseous if I try to take them in the morning. Taking them at night before bed seems to solve that problem completely for me.0

Yeah thanks for the info im really nervous about it because it was pretty painfull tummy ache for about 15 mins it hit me within a few mins after taking it. And i certainly dont want to go thru it again lol.
My 22-year-old son has been taking Centrum since the age of 16 - pretty regular - and he said that this had been happening to him so he switched to a "natural" brand (not sure which brand, but can find out if you're interested) and the problem has been solved. Also, it wasn't a bad batch because he had 3 different bottles, all different expiration dates.0 -
If the vitamin contained Iron, look for one that doesn't contain iron--iron in a vitamin can cause nausea. If you are overwhelmed with the selection at the store, ask the pharmacist to help you. I like the gummy ones, too. I can get migraines after taking certain vitamins, and the gummy ones never cause a problem for me.0

@ Sherry9300. Yeah perhaps its because im not much of a morning person ( meaning ) my body doesnt wake right up takes me a good while and to hit it with a vitamin within the first hour = No Bueno LOL0

This happens to me too. When it first started happening it was always in the morning, so I was a little scared I was pregnant. Fortunately, it was just the vitamin lol. I had to try a few brands before finding one I could take- oddly enough a store brand. I also need to take it a few minutes after a meal. Taking it with the meal or on an empty stomach causes problems for me.0 -

When I took it, The Brand I took . Also my body prob just isnt used to vits in such a condensed form.0 -
I had the same problem. The multivitamin tablets made me really sick when I took one on an empty stomach. They also made me queazy when I took them with food, too. I switched to the gummy vitamins on a friend's suggestion and I haven't had a problem since - even when I've taken them on an empty stomach.0

I barf too if I take my daily before there is food in my stomach0

Have you tried the gummy vitamins? They're the only ones i've found that are aeasy to take.0

OMG I so totally cannot take multivitamins, they make me soo nauseous....
eat something _or what helped me.... take them at night, when you;re going to sleep0 -
my dr told me that if they make me sick dont take them. Not everyone needs them. Make me sick to my stomach as well. Plus if it has Niacin in it, I get a Niacin flush. LOL not to comfortable!0
-
YES!..I learned if I take it after a meal when my stomach is full that wont happen. After eating when I take one I have no symtoms what so ever! Hope this works for you.0
-
It depends on the kind of vitamins. I tried all kinds of vitamins and the only ones I can stomach are the gummy vitamins for adults. They taste great, don't make me sick, and I look forward to them every day so I actually remember to take them!0
-
happens to me ..so i started taking them at night before bed when i remember that is0
-
I can only take them at night, right when I go to bed. That works best for me. I've had one brand of multivitamin that made me sick, but every other one has been fine as long as I take them last thing at night.0
-
Yes. I can't take pill vitamins. I like the Gummy vitamins. I take gummy everything. Multi, Calcium, CoQ10, Vitamin C, Omega 3's.0
-
i take an organic whole foods multi-vitamin because i had a weird reaction to a regular one.0
-
I have to take mine with a meal, can't take them on an empty stomach. And never with anything fizzy - something about the combination of carbonation and the vitamin together in my stomach... yuck!
What are you eating for breakfast? Maybe it's not enough to fill your stomach and absorb the vitamin too. I find I do best with some protein for breakfast - not just carbs. Peanut butter toast, yogurt with fruit & granola, that kind of thing.0 -
I can't either. I take a gummy mulitvitamin and the chewable calcium/D things.0
