Help...Multivitamin making me sick

I need suggestions of something else I can take besides a multivitamin. I can't seem to take them anymore. Even when I take it in the evening, it is making me sick which is weird to me (I have a very weak stomach and get nauseous easily). I used to take them all the time but now I can't. I do take a fiber pill, my BC, and Vit D everyday (along with my anti-depressant at night). Would it be beneficial if I took 2 of my kids gummie vitamins which is what I did when I was pregnant? I can tolerate those. Any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would think that if you did it while you were pregnant and it was doctor approved, then it would be fine now as well! I used to get sick from mine as well, so I would take it with milk and that helped.0

I can't take a multivitamin without puking.....The Dr's told me it was something in the binding agent they use, and it's actually not that uncommon. They do make adult gummy vitamins.0

Never take them on an empty stomach0

stop taking the vitamin? (is this a trick question?)I need suggestions of something else I can take besides a multivitamin. I can't seem to take them anymore.

I always take them with a meal, never alone or with just milk. I've read the nutrients from the vitamins assimilate into the body better when taken with a full meal as well.0

They sell adult gummy vitamins, but be careful because they don't have any iron in them. Most women need that additional iron, so if you're taking gummy vitamins, I'd take an iron supplement as well. Regular vitamins have always made me sick, but I can take the gummy vitamins and Slow FE iron with no problems.0

They make me feel sick too. I have to make sure that I take them after I've eaten and with some food. I've also snapped them in half before and taken them at different times as its not so bed that way.
Never found a total cure, but found taking them on an empty stomach is horrible.0 -
Go with the gummy vitamins or try a natural multivitamin you can be sensitive.0

I buy the kid gummies! I LOVE THEM!0
-
They make gummies for adults now too!0

gummies ftw... that's helped a lot of ppl i know. i take one-a-day women's with energy (has caffeine) and that will make me sick within 5-20 minutes if it's done on an empty stomach.0

Take with food, or a protein shake that will similate as if something is in your stomach to help digest it. That is how I have to do it since I used to try taking them on an empty stomach = no no0

Do you take them with food?
I find if I take them with a meal I'm fine (I usually take them half way through) however if I take them on an empty stomach that I get sick.0 -
I used to get sick ALL the time in the morning & didn't know why until someone said it was when yo utake vitamins. However, I now take Usana which is all out toxin free stuff... and i take them right in the morning on an empty stomach & no longer get a sick stomach,. I guess its the toxins/chemicals in the vitamins that make you sick...
you have to order online & they ship them to you. Besides not being sick, my neighbors on my street SWEAR by them in terms of stopping their allergies... and one neighbor says after taking them consistently, decreased her Rheumatoid arthritis meidcation. I don't have RA but thought i'd pass it along. I noticed that I can't say i necessarily feel 'better' when i take them, but i definitely do not have that unhealthy, tired, fatigued feeling when i was taking them twice a day!0 -
I take the one-a-day gummies. I love them. I was having the same problem with the hard pills. They made me sick too, several times was unable to keep them down. :sick: I don't seem to have any trouble with my other supplements...(Calcium with Vit D, Fish Oil)0

and allegedly most people end up pooping out the gummy vitamins. the usana are USP grade for disintegration, potentcy & weight.0

You *HAVE* to take them with a meal. The only time I ever vomited after taking a vitamin was when I took it on an empty stomach. Plus, the only way a vitamin works is by working with the nutrients in the foods you have in your system. No food, no benefit.0

Same thing happens to me with most multi's. I now take a liquid multi vitamin (Buried treasure vm-100) in a shake or juice and it is way easier on my tummy.0

i take this but the canadian version and its a multivitmin0 -
Try breaking them in half. Take one half with breakfast and one half with dinner. The food and smaller amount at a time should help.0

I had the same problem. I was told that one-a-day multi vitamins can be difficult to digest, especially the older you get. I now use Rainbow Light Women's One-A-Day multi-vitamin. I take it with a meal or snack. Haven't had any nausea or upset stomach at all.
Here is a link to the product I am referring to:
http://www.rainbowlight.com/womens-multivitamins-womens-one-multivitamin.aspx
I should note that this product is geared for gentle digestion.
Also be-ware of the gummy vitamins. Take a look at the sugar content on the label.0 -
i had this same problem. make sure your taking vitamins with food. never take them on an empty stomache. my doc told me to switch to another and find one that didn't make me sick. hope you get this figured out!!0
-
I have that issue too, however I did find a brand that does not make me hurl and it is Jamieson vita Vim for whatever reason they do make me sick.0
-
Try buying one of the gummy chewables multivitamin vs a horse pill. Much easier to swallow. They are not just for children!0
-
I just switched to one a day women daily vitamin from taking adult gummy
Vitamins for years. Have been nauseous everyday
And am convinced it is the zinc content
I got the same feeling when I took zinc
Years back
I suggest switching to adult gummy as I am doing the same
Stick w what I know I have concluded0 -
I take the kids ones because they are the only thing my stomach can handle.0
